Chinese messages appear garbled in debug console

As reported by @DFVSQY here https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/35235

1. Have the following program

using System;

namespace files
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("文件 编辑 选择 查看 转到 调试 任务 帮助");
            Console.WriteLine("哈哈");
        }
    }
}

1. Have your windows machine setup to use simplified chineese
2. Have vscode setup to use simplified chineese
3. Run the program, notice garbled characters
4. Notice garbled output in the C# extension output channel

Work around:

Add the following at the start of the program:

    Console.OutputEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;

Alternative work around:

Edit launch.json to change "console" to use the integrated terminal:

    "console": "integratedTerminal"

Notes:

• this is not happening with other debug adapters thus I am assuming that the C# debug backend is sending wrong characters to vscode.
• I was not able to reproduce this with just setting vscode to use chineese, I think the whole OS language has to be changed.
• I get lots of bugs around this in the vscode repo from chineese people every mileston only for C# debugging.

Please ping if you need more details.

@gregg-miskelly thanks. With the support of running tasks in the terminal this is not needed anymore since the terminal itself already allows to specify encodings.
