Fix autostart status for paths with non-ASCII chars and spaces

readShortcut read the shortcut TargetPath via [Console]::Out.Write, which
uses the system OEM code page by default. On Russian Windows (CP866) this
encoded Cyrillic characters differently from UTF-8, so Go's string(output)
produced a garbled path that never matched os.Executable, causing
AutostartStatus to always report "shortcut points to another executable"
for any install directory that contained non-ASCII characters.

Fix: prepend [Console]::OutputEncoding = New-Object System.Text.UTF8Encoding($false)
to the readShortcut PowerShell script so the output is always UTF-8.

Also harden sameWindowsPath against NTFS 8.3 short names: when a directory
name contains spaces Windows assigns a short name (e.g. LOCALG~1 for
"Local Git"), and the OS may use that form when launching from a
Startup-folder shortcut. Add an os.SameFile fallback that compares paths
by volume serial number and file index, which is immune to 8.3 vs long
name differences as well as directory junction points.

Add normalizeWindowsPath helper that strips quotes and the \?\ extended-
length prefix before filepath.Clean so those variants compare equal to
the plain path.
