RSB long path support on Windows is still broken.

Description

Long path support on Windows requires the use of Unicode paths. The current path is not Unicode and some paths in C++ can be longer than 255 character when building the release candidates using the standard paths in the releases.

The solution is to change paths.py so it's host call returns a Unicode string. The also requires changes to the macro key logic to convert any unicode string to an ascii string, all macro keys are ascii. Also the execute module needs to better manage Unicode strings.

This is a major change and I do not think it is suitable for a release branch. This change should only happen on master.

The 4.11.2 milestone is closing.
