find_pandoc() gives annoy warning when user name is in non-latin

[jszhao]

Hi there,

find_pandoc() on my system returns the correct pandoc version and directory. However, it also gives the following warning messages.

Warning messages:
1: In strsplit(info, "\n") :
  unable to translate 'User data directory: C:\Users\<c1><fa>\AppData\Roaming\pandoc' to a wide string
2: In strsplit(info, "\n") : input string 4 is invalid

The root of this warning message is raised from strsplit(info, "\n")[[1]][1] in function get_pandoc_version

If using strsplit(info, "\n", useBytes = TRUE)[[1]][1], the warning message disappears. However, I don't know if it is the right solution.
