windows: Use correct variant of CreateFile. 

When built with MSVC and unicode enabled, using CreateFile gave:

warning C4133: 'function': incompatible types - from 'char *' to 'LPCWSTR'

CreateFile is a macro expanding to either CreateFileW if unicode
mode is enabled, or CreateFileA if not.

For CreateFileW, the filename is a UTF-16 string. For CreateFileA
it is an 'ANSI' string, meaning 8-bit chars in the current Windows
code page.

We do need to stick to 8-bit strings for port names, since
sp_get_port_by_name() and sp_get_port_name() are defined with
char * types, and that is what we store in struct sp_port. So
CreateFileA is the correct version to use.

Since Windows serial port names are always just 'COM' and a digit,
with a '\\.\' prefix for higher numbers, encoding is fortunately
not an issue - ASCII, UTF-8 and all the Windows code pages seem to
be equivalent for these characters.

We should however explicitly document what the encoding of strings
accepted and returned by libserialport is.
