    libgimpbase: fix #1350 Failure to load metadata importing image with non-latin unicode path
    
    On Windows loading metadata from images with non ASCII characters in their
    path failed. Part of the fix is in gexiv2 that now converts the path from
    utf-8 to utf-16 on Windows.
    
    However we were still sending a localized path to gexiv2 where it was
    expecting utf-8. This caused the conversion and thus loading of metadata
    to fail. Fix is to remove the special handling for Windows and use the
    utf-8 filename.
    
    (cherry picked from commit 65950de735d5461b6ba9fb30d011b3976d75d792)
