Bug reference: 18219

Operating system: Windows
Description:
I use libpqxx via vcpkg in Windows project build for x64 system using Visual
Studio. There is a UNICODE define, which causes **W Windows functions to be
used and hence string parameters should be passed in using L"...".
I have sslrootcert file used in my connection string. During the connection
initialization stat() function is invoked for the file. It is implemented in
win32stat.c, which then invokes pgwin32_open_handle() (open.c) and then
initialize_ntdll() (win32ntdll.c) is invoked. There is a use of
LoadLibraryEx which is just a define above LoadLibraryExA or LoadLibraryExW.
Using UNICODE implies LoadLibraryExW to be used, but the parameter passed in
is char*, not wchar_t*. This leads to failed initialization returning error
code 126 - The specified module could not be found.
There should be a switch if UNICODE is defined, then L"ntdll.dll" should be
passed in. The same applies to all other Windows functions consuming
strings.
