Summary: Use Unicode version for GetUserName

Initial Comment:
Currently, win32api.GetUserName() returns an 8-bit string. The internal function should use GetUserNameW and return a unicode object.

Message:
Many functions share this problem.  py3k builds will already call the
unicode version and we may switch all modules to defaulting to unicode for
2.x in the future...
