#9743: [unix] wxExecute handles UTF-8 incorrectly

----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 When ''wxExecute(const wxString& command, ...)'' splits ''command'' into
 separate arguments it chops it up into separate characters and appends
 them one-by-one to a ''wxString''.
 Unfortunately this fails miserably if the command contains multibyte
 characters (UTF-8); ''wxString::operator+='' will replace each byte with a
 question mark.
 E.g. the string "'''München'''" will be passed to the child as
 "'''M??nchen'''".

 AFAICT wxCmdLineParser::ConvertStringToArgs() seems to contain the same
 type of bug.
