Subject: [ruby-core:64310] [ruby-trunk - Bug #10126] [Open] Dir.home encoding is incorrect on Windows

Issue #10126 has been reported by D��vis Mos��ns.

----------------------------------------
Bug #10126: Dir.home encoding is incorrect on Windows
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10126

* Author: D��vis Mos��ns
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: cruby-windows
* Category: platform/windows
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: 2.0.0p481
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
Dir.home string itself is actually returned encoded in cp775 (no matter what consoles encoding is)
but encoding information is as windows default encoding.


For example, if my home directory is C:\Users\D��vis and windows default encoding 1257 with cosnole's encoding as 1252
```
dir = Dir.home
=> "C:/Users/D\x83vis"
dir.encoding
=> #<Encoding:Windows-1257>
puts dir
=> C:/Users/D���vis
dir.force_encoding('cp775')
puts dir
=> C:/Users/D��vis
```

As can see, x83 is �� character in 775 encoding.
