[Github-comments] [geany] Fix configdir encoding (#658)

[zhekov]

configdir is initially in locale (glib) encoding. Converting it from UTF-8 is wrong (for example, "Р±РѕР·Р°" becomes "боза" on my system), and it must be converted _to_ UTF-8 when used in geany_debug() - otherwise, Help -> Debug Messages terminates Geany with an assertion. This is for POSIX only, under Windows the glib encoding is also UTF-8.

I replaced "alternate configdir %s" and "creating config directory %s" with static texts, because the directory is shown shortly after them as "User config dir: %s" anyway, and I don't want to create and free an utf8_configdir two more times.

dialogs_show_msgbox() in create_config_dir() are for the default directory only, and thus do not require conversion.
