Incorrect display of non-ASCII usernames (Cyrillic) in USER column #81

Description

@larin-ilya

When ntop runs on Windows Server 2022 with a Cyrillic username (for example “Администратор”), the USER column shows garbled text instead of the actual name.

Example output:
8592 └фьшэшёЄЁ 8 00.8% 9.5 MB 00:00:20 ntop.exe

Expected output:
8592 Администратор 8 00.8% 9.5 MB 00:00:20 ntop.exe

The username seems to be handled as ANSI instead of UTF-8 or wide string.
(Windows Server 2022 (Russian locale) ntop 0.3.21 UTF-8 (chcp 65001)
PowerShell )
