The FWrite function on Windows assumed that MultiByteToWideChar
automatically null-terminates the resulting string, but it will only do
so if the size of the source was passed as -1 or null character was
explicitly counted in the size. The FWrite uses std::string and its
.size() method which doesn't count the null character even though the
.data() method adds it to the resulting string.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/stringapiset/nf-stringapiset-multibytetowidechar#remarks

MultiByteToWideChar does not null-terminate an output string if the
input string length is explicitly specified without a terminating null
character. To null-terminate an output string for this function, the
application should pass in -1 or explicitly count the terminating null
character for the input string.


Discovered while debugging http2 tests on windows, all native logs were in one line. Hopefully I didn't miss another thing in the MultiByteToWideChar doc, it's quite confusing.

Do you think you could amend parallel/test-http2-debug.js to verify this?
