tests: fix Windows unit test failures

Preserve line endings for test fixtures so file hashes remain stable
across platforms.

Temporarily release the wallet keys lock while inspecting the keys file,
then reacquire it and verify the lock state. This lets the test read the
file on Windows, where the lock prevents a concurrent read open.

Avoid passing possibly negative char values to std::isprint(), which is
undefined behavior except for EOF.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes three test-only issues that caused unit tests to fail on Windows. It ensures test data files keep consistent line endings so their cryptographic hashes match, lets a test briefly release a file lock so it can read a wallet keys file on Windows, and avoids a minor undefined-behavior case when checking whether characters are printable. None of these changes affect the Monero wallet or node code that users rely on; they only make the test suite more reliable.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal test-fix commit. Reviewers may verify that the unlock/lock pattern in the test does not mask a real product issue, but the change is clearly scoped to the test.

Security signals we found

01

Undefined behavior in test code removed: negative char values no longer passed to std::isprint()

02

File locking behavior in unit test adjusted to accommodate Windows semantics

03

No changes to production cryptographic, consensus, or wallet-handling code
