PCSTR.ToString() should convert as an ASCII string

[harborsiem]

Actual behavior

PCSTR seems to have a wrong Encoding.
See Data-types

Expected behavior

Either documentation or implementation is wrong.

Repro steps

1. NativeMethods.txt content:

PSTR
PCSTR

2. NativeMethods.json content (if present):

3. Any of your own code that should be shared?

Context

• CsWin32 version: [0.2.110-beta]
• Win32Metadata version (if explicitly set by project):
• Target Framework: [net6.0-windows]
• LangVersion (if explicitly set by project): [e.g. 9]

Are you saying that it should use ANSI instead of UTF8 when decoding the bytes?
I think wikipedia describes the situation well. In the docs, ANSI isn't a particular character set. If we were to be strict about it, I think the correct encoding to use would be whatever the current codepage is for Windows (as returned from the GetACP function).

A great resource for learning about this is here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/intl/code-pages

In practice, I think many narrow character functions actually assume a UTF-8 encoding, but I'm not sure.

@mikebattista, thoughts?
