PlatformFolders-3.0

On Windows the library now returns UTF-8 encoded paths as default.
This means that you as a programmer can now assume UTF-8 on all platforms.

This version may be the last to support Windows XP.
The price for Windows XP compatibility is that the save games folder and download folders are not fully compliant on the Windows platform.

Changes:

• Fixed a buffer overflow introduced in 2.1 (originally created to ensure C++03 compatibility)
• The example file no longer abuses namespaces.
