Cannot be used on Windows with a username of Chinese characters (maybe or non-ASCII)

[chinanewer]

Description of the bug:

My operating system is Windows 11
And my system username is: 王鼎.
When I use the bazel. exe help command, the following result is displayed:

E:\Codes\tmp\xxx>bazel.exe help
Extracting Bazel installation...
Starting local Bazel server and connecting to it...
Server crashed during startup. Now printing c:\users\wangding\_bazel_������\mhbaa5od\server\jvm.out
Error: Unable to access jarfile c:\\users\\wangding\\_bazel_??????\\install\\2c6e961c0ed763b33d5d5fbf42980427\\A-server.jar

When I switched my username to a pure English name(Admin), everything worked fine.
The user path is as follows: C:\Users\Administrator_bazel_Admin

This is potentially fixed in 8.0.0, which contains many bugfixes for handling non-ASCII characters. Mind giving it a try and reporting here if it still doesn't work? (We can consider backporting the fixes to 7.x if we decide to make another minor release, but it's too late for 7.5.0.)

This might require #24457, which I hope to get into 8.1.0 but is currently blocked on the rules_java update.
