This patch fixes an issue where Blender 3.5 alpha with the Metal GPU backend enabled on Japanese macOS fails to compile shaders and crashes on startup.
In a Japanese environment, `defaultCStringEncoding` is the legacy MacJapanese encoding, and it erroneously converts backslashes (0x5c) to Yen symbols (¥).
Therefore, Metal shader compile fails with the following log and Blender crashes.
```

```
We can use `stringWithUTF8String` instead.
