The Java launcher on Windows has been using `GetCommandLineA()` to obtain arguments, which by default does "best-fit" mapping when the arguments are converted to ANSI code page encoding. By disabling this "best-fit" mapping, the launcher's parsing works as expected. A corresponding CSR has been drafted for the behavioral change.

IIUC, all errors should be handled with the proposed patch. On error with JLI_MemAlloc and WideCharToMultiByte, the process exits with `exit(1)`. As to `GetCommandLineW()`, there is no description of error in the MS document (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/processenv/nf-processenv-getcommandlinew), so I suppose no error handling on our side is needed.
