Creates a Gio.File with the given argument from the command line.
The value of arg can be either a URI, an absolute path or a
relative path resolved relative to the current working directory.
This operation never fails, but the returned object might not
support any I/O operation if arg points to a malformed path.
Note that on Windows, this function expects its argument to be in
UTF-8 -- not the system code page. This means that you
should not use this function with string from argv as it is passed
to main(). g_win32_get_command_line() will return a UTF-8 version of
the commandline. Gio.Application also uses UTF-8 but
g_application_command_line_create_file_for_arg() may be more useful
for you there. It is also always possible to use this function with
GLib.OptionContext arguments of type GLib.OptionArg.FILENAME.
