RFR (S) 8232168: Fix non wide char canonicalization on Windows

[Calvin Cheung]

Hi Christoph,

The changes look good.

I agree that other mentioned items (the JPLIS agent usage and moving the 
canonicalize function into hotspot) could be done in separate RFEs.

thanks,

Calvin

So, what happens is that the windows 'canonicalize" function will only delegate to 'wcanonicalize' from now on.  Furthermore,  'canonicalizeWithPrefix' along with some auxiliary stuff could be removed completely.
