    libgimpbase: fix #7383 GIMP loses exif data when a folder has Hebrew letters
    
    On Windows when exporting an image saving the exif and other metadata fails
    if the path or filename includes non ASCII characters.
    Reason is that gexiv2 changed to using utf-8.
    
    In the past we had to convert the filename to current locale on Windows,
    but since it now also expects utf-8 there, just remove the special
    handling of filename there.
