This is internally handled as API "3L".
* Fixes #446: Use `localsearch` paths instead of `tracker3-miners`
* Reported by @lufog.
* rpcli: Limit Windows UTF-8 console output to Windows 10 or later.
On Windows 7 (and possibly 8 and 8.1), when using a non-English
language, rpcli might randomly crash due to console bugs.
* rpcli: Improved Unicode output such that it works properly on older versions
of Windows, including Windows XP and Windows 7, by using WriteConsoleW().
This requires converting from UTF-8 to UTF-16, but it turns out doing this
is actually faster than printf/cout, even on versions of Windows that support
UTF-8 properly, so now it's used on Windows 10 as well.
