Whatever you do, don't decode the selection text on MS-Windows. It is
already decoded (see w32-get-clipboard-data), and
selection-coding-system is UTF-16 on MS-Windows, so decoding a decoded
string by that will not do anything useful ;-)
The existing code carefully side-steps the decoding by looking at the
foreign-selection property on the string, which the Windows code
doesn't set. But your changes removed that test, and thus caused the
clipboard text to be decoded on Windows.
