Noticed when syncing impeller-cmake.

In MSSTL, Path::u8string returns an std::u8string, which is spec abiding. However, libcxx returns an std::string. Our interfaces use const char* and std::string for paths, but Clang doesn't do implicit conversions for char8_t->char. This is a safe cast because the underlying type of char8_t is defined by the spec to be unsigned char.

It looks like this pull request may not have tests. Please make sure to add tests before merging. If you need an exemption to this rule, contact Hixie on the #hackers channel in Chat (don't just cc him here, he won't see it! He's on Discord!).

If you are not sure if you need tests, consider this rule of thumb: the purpose of a test is to make sure someone doesn't accidentally revert the fix. Ask yourself, is there anything in your PR that you feel it is important we not accidentally revert back to how it was before your fix?

Reviewers: Read the Tree Hygiene page and make sure this patch meets those guidelines before LGTMing.
