Revert various gcc workarounds on Windows

Ben Gamari requested to merge wip/T12971 into master

Here we revert two hacks introduced to work around gcc's lack of proper Unicode support on Windows:

  • Revert the workaround introduced in f63c8ef3, which taught our response file logic to write response files with the latin1 encoding to workaround gcc's lacking Unicode support. This is now no longer necessary (and in fact actively unhelpful) since we rather use Clang.
  • As noted in #12971 (closed), we previously used show, which resulted in inappropriate escaping of non-ASCII characters.

Fixes #12971 (closed).
