win32-service has some ANSI API calls that may cause problems in a non-US language environment.

In Scope

Identify existing uses of the Win32::Service API, located primarily (if not entirely) in provider/service/windows
Create a new API implementation inside of puppet that meets these same requirements, using FFI or fiddle
For an example of a similar effort which defined an API replacing our need for Win32::EventLog, see https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/a158879977570227c857ddf232bc00edac69e9fe
New API must make use of the Unicode-compatible versions of functions in the Windows API
