Summary

Call ripgrep with explicit UTF-8 encoding to prevent issues with multi-byte characters.

When calling subprocess.Popen, (which is where silent_subprocess::silent_run eventually ends up) with text=True without specifying the encoding, python will use the encoding returned by locale::getencoding.

On Linux this returns UTF-8 while on Windows it will return cp1252 which causes issues with multi-byte characters like em dashes or Japanese characters.

Fixes #1195.
