Don't call pgwin32_message_to_UTF16() without CurrentMemoryContext.
PostgreSQL running as a Windows service crashed upon calling write_stderr() before MemoryContextInit(). This fix completes work started in 5735efee15540765315aa8c1a230575e756037f7. Messages this early contain only ASCII bytes; if we removed the CurrentMemoryContext requirement, the ensuing conversions would have no effect. Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions). Takayuki Tsunakawa, reviewed by Michael Paquier. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/0A3221C70F24FB45833433255569204D1F80CC73@G01JPEXMBYT05
