Make builds having Unicode support on Windows detectable programmatically and by showing it in the Features header.

Note: Naming suggestions are welcome. I'd prefer this not to be a "Windows-thing", but I'm not aware of any other platform having a separate Unicode API.

What exactly does it mean (for users) ? I mean this adds the docs that libcurl was built with unicode support but how is that relevant. Maybe we should also document that somewhere?

I realize that Windows is the only build that differentiates unicode vs non-unicode - right now - but maybe we can still omit the "win" part from the name and then if other platforms later on find a use for the bit for the same purpose, it will fit better?

@bagder: For users I think it means that non-ASCII characters in filenames, on the command-line will actually work (or if they don't, it's something to report.)

I do agree to drop the WIN part. Will update in a few.
