mark -s switches as UTF-8 with -CA

-CA (also known as PERL_UNICODE=A) tells perl to assume the command-line
arguments to be UTF-8. This did not apply to the global variables
implicitly created by -s, however, only to the elements of @argv.
Logically speaking it does not make sense to have half a command line
treated as UTF-8, so this patch makes -CA apply to everything.

Fixes Perl#23377.
