Since every DLL can use an individual CRT on Windows, having
an exported function that opens a FILE* won't work if that
FILE* is going to be used from a different DLL (or from user
application code).
Internally within the libraries, the issue can be worked around
by duplicating the function in all libraries (this already happened
implicitly because the function resided in file_open.c) and renaming
the function to ff_fopen_utf8 (so that it doesn't end up exported from
the DLLs) and duplicating it in all libraries that use it.
This makes the avpriv_fopen_utf8 / ff_fopen_utf8 function work in
the exact same way as the existing avpriv_open / ff_open, with the
same setup as introduced in e743e7ae6e.
That mechanism doesn't work for external users, thus deprecate the
existing function.

The toolchain for this target is unmaintained since many years.
While it has been continuously build tested on fate, it hasn't
actually been tested at runtime since many, many years (and back
then, only a few codecs in libavcodec were tested).
So far, keeping support for it has been mostly effortless, but
the compiler does seem to have issues with dllimported data symbols,
ending up as internal compiler errors in some cases. Instead of
jumping through further hoops to work around that, just remove the
target.

Avoids inheritance of file handles on Windows systems similar to the
O_CLOEXEC/FD_CLOEXEC flag on Linux.
Fixes file lock issues in Windows applications when a child process
is started with handle inheritance enabled (standard input/output
redirection) while a FFmpeg transcoding is running in the parent
process.

Describes the _wsopen() function and the O_NOINHERIT flag. File handles
opened by _wsopen() are inheritable by default.

Describes handle inheritance when creating new processes. Handle
inheritance must be enabled (bInheritHandles = TRUE) e.g. when you want
to pass handles for stdin/stdout via lpStartupInfo.

This doesn't add any dependency on library internals, since this
only is a static inline function that gets built into each of the
calling functions - this is only to reduce the code duplication.

fopen() on windows uses UTF-16, we use UTF-8 everywhere, this
function bridges the gap by using avpriv_open()
