89386e700e kernel: Use fs:: namespace and unicode path in kernel tests (sedited)
Pull request description:
Add support for unicode characters in paths to the kernel tests by using our fs:: wrappers for std::filesystem calls and adding the windows application manifest to the binary. This exercises their handling through the kernel API.

Pull request description:
Currently the ci yaml has a mix of Bash and Pwsh snippets, which is problematic:
* The `shellcheck` tool does not review the Bash
* The ci yaml is not merged with master on re-runs, but the code is, leading to possibly confusing CI errors on re-runs
* The Pwsh isn't reviewed at all by any tool
* It is tedious to run the CI commands locally on Windows
Fix all issues by extracting them into a step-based Python script.

ACK fa13b13239, I have reviewed the code and it looks OK.

This is the standard approach and avoids relying on
VCPKG_INSTALLATION_ROOT and -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE= in the ci-windows.py
script.
This makes it easier to run locally.
This is mostly a refactor, except for using the runner workspace (cwd) for:
* fuzz qa-assets
* functional temp prefix
This makes it easier to run the ci-windows.py locally.
This makes it easier to:
* Run the exact command of any CI type and step locally
* Re-Run older CI tasks on GHA and using the latest merged config.
(.github/ci-windows.py is merged with master on re-runs, but
.github/workflows/ci.yml is NOT)
Also, writing it in Python has benefits:
* Any developer (even non-Windows ones) can read and modify the script.
* Python is already required for tests, so no new dependency is needed.
