Attachment: XPCOM change for supporting non-English foldername. (needs NSPR change of 58866)

Change of nsLocalFile where mResolvedPath and mWorkingPath stores UTF-8; not
FS.
nsLocalFile::xxxxNativeyyyy() returns FS; 
whereas nsLocalFile::xxxxyyyy() returns UCS2

However, nsLocalFile::xxxxNativeyyyy() will 
depreciate in Windows platforms with MOZ_UNICODE on

See the same problem on linux. Changed the platform to all.

Now in Mozilla 1.4 RC1, we can import non-English addressbook in filename. :)

It also happens when information in the address book is written in non-English characters.

Is this still an issue with current builds? 

Tested with Mozilla 1.8a6 build 2004112806 on WinNT4 to import LDIFs with
umlauts and other characters. WFM. But I'm not sure if it works now for Japanese
and Chinese characters in filename or path.
