PowerShell 5 is the default version of PowerShell in Windows 10 and older versions. It does not default to UTF-8 encoding, which can cause issues with Telegraf trying to parse the file. Rather than adding lots of weird logic to Telegraf, document the requirement to specify the encoding when using PowerShell 5. Newer versions of PowerShell now use UTF-8 encoding.
