Fixes minetest/irrlicht#216. Depends on a minetest/irrlicht#221.
The UTF-8 / wide string conversion functions in IrrlichtMt are broken on Windows (at least on my machine). Fortunately, Minetest has working ones. This PR moves the working UTF-8 / wide string conversion functions from Minetest to IrrlichtMt so that they can be used by both Minetest and IrrlichtMt. The broken ones have been removed.
I'd be interested in better ideas on how to fix this.
