bpo-32409: Fix regression in activate.bat on international Windows (GH-10295)
Handle Unicode contents on localised Windows systems when activating a venv. activate.bat currently breaks on German Windows systems, as chcp.com does not return a plain number as on English systems, but (arbitrarily) appends a dot at the end (for example "Aktive Codepage: 850." instead of "Active Codepage: 850"). The dependency to chcp.com is removed and ctypes is used to get, set and restore the console output code page. The code page for console input is not changed. We can't use __VENV_PYTHON__ to find python.exe, since it's UTF-8. cmd.exe decodes the script using the console output code page.
