Handle Unicode contents on localised Windows systems when activating a
venv. activate.bat currently breaks on German Windows systems, as chcp.com does
not return a plain number as on English systems, but (arbitrarily) appends a dot at the end
(for example "Aktive Codepage: 850." instead of "Active Codepage: 850"). The
dependency to chcp.com is removed and ctypes is used to get, set and restore the
console output code page. The code page for console input is not changed.
We can't use __VENV_PYTHON__ to find python.exe, since it's UTF-8. cmd.exe decodes
the script using the console output code page.
PowerShell Core 6.1 is the cross-platform port of Windows PowerShell. This change updates Activate.ps1 to not make Windows assumptions as well as installing it into the bin/Scripts directory on all operating systems.
Requires PowerShell Core 6.1 for proper readline support once the shell has been activated for the virtual environment.
