Previously the constructor for all of these would run at program
startup, consuming time before the application can enter main().
This is also particularly dangerous, given the logging system wouldn't
have been initialized properly yet, yet the program would use the logs
to signify an error.
To rectify this, we can replace the literals with constexpr functions
that perform the conversion at compile-time, completely eliminating the
runtime cost of initializing these arrays.
This properly handles unicode-based paths on Windows, while opening a
raw stream doesn't out-of-the-box.
Prevents file creation from potentially failing on Windows PCs that make
use of unicode characters in their save paths (e.g. writing to a user's
AppData folder, where the user has a name with non-ASCII characters).
Since the introduction of this library, numerous improvements have been
made. Notably, many of the warnings we would get by simply including the
library header have now been fixed. This makes it much easier to make
conversion warning an error.
These can be generified together by using a concept type to designate
them. This also has the benefit of not making copies of potentially very
large arrays.
* Fixes Unicode Key File Directories
Adds code so that when loading a file it converts to UTF16 first, to
ensure the files can be opened. Code borrowed from FileUtil::Exists.

We can just return a new instance of this when it's requested. This only
ever holds pointers to the existing registed caches, so it's not a large
object. Plus, this also gets rid of the need to keep around a separate
member function just to properly clear out the union.
Gets rid of one of five globals in the filesystem code.
* get rid of boost::optional
* Remove optional references
* Use std::reference_wrapper for optional references
* Fix clang format
* Fix clang format part 2
* Adressed feedback
* Fix clang format and MacOS build
If the data is unconditionally being appended to the back of a
std::vector, we can just directly insert it there without the need to
insert all of the elements one-by-one with a std::back_inserter.
Given the filesystem should always be assumed to be volatile, we should
check and bail out if a seek operation isn't successful. This'll prevent
potentially writing/returning garbage data from the function in rare
cases.
This also allows removing a check to see if an offset is within the
bounds of a file before perfoming a seek operation. If a seek is
attempted beyond the end of a file, it will fail, so this essentially
combines two checks into one in one place.
Given the file is opened a few lines above and no operations are done,
other than check if the file is in a valid state, the read/write pointer
will always be at the beginning of the file.
