ICU-20491 ICU4C u_getDataDirectory on Windows shouldn't set path to current directory by default.

This change was introduced by the following commit e9946ec98eb14f485a85f690fb41029d492b03a2.

However, there's really no reason why the Windows UWP version should require the icudtl.dat file
to be in the same directory as the icuuc.dll file.
