This function does *not* always convert from UTF-16. It converts
from UTF-16 on Windows and UTF-32 on other operating systems.
Also renaming UTF8ToUTF16 for consistency, even though it
technically doesn't have the same problem since it only was
implemented on Windows.
The AutoUpdate module is a generic update checker mechanism which can be
used by UI backends to trigger an auto-update check as well as the
actual update process.
Currently only configurable through .ini and the Qt implementation is
completely placeholder-y -- blocking the main thread on a network
request on startup, etc.
