* pan/unicode-filenames/OTP-8887: (27 commits)
Test and correct filelib and filename
Add documentation to erlang.xml and slight correction to unicode_usage.xml
Add section about Unicode file names to stdlib users guide
Correct bug in file_name_SUITE making it fail on Unix instead of Windows7
Add documentation about raw filenames and Unicode file name translation mode
Make filelib not crash on re codepoints beyond 255 in re when filename is raw
Mend on_load_embedded testcase which did not handle windows links
Correct testcase regarding windows versions supporting soft links.
Teach filelib to use re in unicode mode when filenames are not raw
Treat soft links on Windows correctly in file_name_SUITE
Adapt new soft and hard link routines on Windos to Unicode
Corrected testcases broken by unicode filenames
Update preloaded prim_file
Teach prim_file not to accept atoms and not to throw exceptions
Adapt inet_drv to Visual Studio 2008
Teach spawn_executable about Unicode
