This add a FAQ entry about a long requested issue with unicode errors on Windows.

I explained clearly why this is not a bug for Click to solve and is a system configuration.

I've been using that for 4 years in production and it just works: kdeldycke/meta-package-manager@51f392a#diff-95557d53bf91069e59d82b9d8fcfaf52ec84a762858983edd5ef3c9b3e4c8191R337-R342

Closes #2121
