[systemsettings] [Bug 403557] UTF-8 characters are not saved correctly using the implicit path configuration module

--- Comment #11 from Jos van den Oever <jos at vandenoever.info> ---
globalpaths.cpp should not use KConfig to write user-dirs.dirs

KConfig escapes bytes >= 127. Improving that so that it does not escape UTF8
would be nice, but it would only solve this issue for users with UTF8 locales.
I think that `user-dirs.dirs` is written in the locale of the user.

This does not mention what the encoding of user-dirs.dirs is.
