"File not found" when file path have non-English characters

[apolkingg8]

When file path have non-english words, the exifTool.read() throw error like that:

stderr.data: File not found: G:/xxx/xxx/test_images/中文資料夾/2185_hodesti_00_p_1024x768.jpg

I tried to use exiftool-vendored.exe with cmd and it works with some warning:

 exiftool.exe -json -coordFormat -fast G:\xxx\xxx\test_images\中文資料夾\2185_hodesti_00_p_1024x768.jpg

I found an similar issue in another exiftool repo and add "-charset", "filename=utf8", in ReadTask.ts, then it works!

It looks like that:

static for(filename: string, optionalArgs: string[] = []): ReadTask {
    const sourceFile = _path.resolve(filename)
    const args = [
      "-json",
      "-coordFormat", "%.8f", // Just a float, please, not the default of "22 deg 20' 7.58\" N"
      "-fast",
      "-charset", "filename=utf8",
      ...optionalArgs,
      sourceFile
    ]
    return new ReadTask(sourceFile, args)
}

Maybe write will have similar problem. I don't know it's a regular solution or not, please feel free to close my PR if I did something wrong.

BTW, thanks for this cool project, I love strong type so much :)
