bpo-41038: Fix non-ASCII string corruption in Win32 resource files (GH-20985)

In absence of explicit declaration, resource compiler uses system
codepage. When this codepage is DBCS or UTF-8, Python's copyright
string is corrupted, because it contains copyright sign encoded
as \xA9.

The fix is to explicitly declare codepage 1252.
