Summary: Crash getting time zone info

Initial Comment:
The following code crashes when the local time zone is a unicode string (e.g. contains German umlauts):

import win32timezone
tzi = win32timezone.TimeZoneInfo.local()

This is probably due to the use of "str" type for standard_name and daylight_name in class TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION
