Examples: Updated all Visual Studio project file to use /utf-8 option, so string literals are UTF-8 encoded by default.

(Not to misake with "Character Set" "Use Unicode Character Set" "Use Multi-Byte Character Set" which is a VS/Windows SDK thing but not a compiler-encoding thing.)

@@ -80,6 +80,7 @@ Other changes:
 - Examples: Vulkan: Use integrated GPU if nothing else is available. (#6359) [@kimidaisuki22]
 - Examples: DX9, DX10, DX11: Queue framebuffer resize instead of processing in WM_SIZE,
   as some drivers tends to only cleanup after existing the native resize modal loop. (#6374)
+- Examples: Updated all Visual Studio projects and batches to use /utf-8 argument.
