Lossy utf8 conversion error prone

This can just be taken as feedback for what it's worth.
In rustup I recently submitted a patch to stop using get_value / set_value/ for strings of the HKCU\Environment\PATH value. rustup needs to read and write the value and it was important to detect and preserve the non-unicode.
Providing lossless OsString conversions may help, since then I could handle the encoding issues on my side, while still using the nice get_value / set_value fns.
