[libcxx] Fix using std::wcout/wcin on Windows with streams configured in wide mode

On Windows, the underlying file descriptors for stdout/stdin/stderr
can be reconfigured to wide mode. In the default (narrow) mode, the
charset usually isn't utf8 (as libcxx assumes), but normally a locale
specific codepage (where each codepage only can represent a small
subset of unicode characters).

By configuring the stdout file descriptor to wide mode, the user can
output wchar_t based strings without convesion to the narrow charset.
Within libcxx, don't try to use codecvt to convert this to a narrow
character encoding, but output these strings as such with fputwc.

In wide mode, such strings could be output directly with fwrite too,
but if the file descriptor hasn't been configured in wide mode, that
breaks the output (which currently works reasonably). By always
outputting one character at a time with fputwc, it works regardless
of mode of the stdout file descriptor.

For the narrow output stream, std::cout, outputti...
