Issue:
Changes done by Ashesh in pgAdmin4.py file for setting up PYTHONHOME variable to sys.prefix was applicable only for windows only.
Additionally I have also added exception handling for file provided by user for Backup/Restore/Import/Export.
In order to resolve the non-ascii characters in path (in user directory,
storage path, etc) on windows, we have converted the path into the
short-path, so that - we don't need to deal with the encoding issues
(specially with Python 2).
We've resolved majority of the issues with this patch.
We still need couple issues to resolve after this in the same area.
TODO
* Add better support for non-ascii characters in the database name on
windows with Python 3
* Improve the messages created after the background processes by
different modules (such as Backup, Restore, Import/Export, etc.),
which does not show short-paths, and xml representable characters for
non-ascii characters, when found in the database objects, and the file
PATH.
