Research direction

Start by reading the linked PEP 529 and the Python 3.6 What's New entry, then locate IronPython's Windows filesystem encoding implementation. Done means IronPython follows the UTF-8 filesystem encoding behavior described by those references, with relevant validation added where the existing implementation supports it.
