 The raw bytes of args should be decoded according to the current locale.

 An additional function should be added:
 {{{
 getArgsBytes :: IO [Word8]
 }}}
 to provide access to the raw bytes.

 This change needs to be coordinated with #3007 so that it will still
 work to read a file name from the command line args and use it
 to access a file.

 This change should also be made on Windows: #3008
