Codex runner on Windows launches PowerShell as login-shell and decodes
stdout/stderr without UTF-8, garbling Cyrillic output. The other 51 ps1
scripts already set `[Console]::OutputEncoding = UTF8`; bring these 7
in line and add `InputEncoding = UTF8` for symmetry.
Touched: epf-init, erf-init, form-add, form-remove, help-add,
template-add, template-remove. Versions bumped in both ps1 and py
headers to keep the pair in sync.

When working with existing configs dumped from newer platforms (8.3.27+),
XML files use version="2.20" instead of "2.17". Skills now detect the
version from the nearest Configuration.xml walking up the directory tree,
falling back to "2.17" if not found. This prevents format version mismatch
errors during LoadConfigFromFiles.
Updated skills (11): meta-compile, form-compile, form-add, template-add,
cfe-borrow, epf-add-form, help-add, role-compile, subsystem-compile,
interface-edit. Also fixed form-validate to accept version 2.20.

Without reconfiguring stderr, Cyrillic error messages appear garbled
on Windows (cp1251 default). Mirrors the existing stdout fix.

Python on Windows defaults to cp1251 for piped stdout, which cannot
handle Unicode box-drawing characters used in info/analysis output.
Added sys.stdout.reconfigure(encoding="utf-8") to all 59 Python scripts.
Tested on real config data: epf-init, epf-validate, cf-info, cf-validate,
meta-info, form-info, role-info, skd-info, subsystem-info — all passing.

Add cross-platform Python alternatives alongside existing PowerShell
scripts. PS1 remains the default runtime; Python is opt-in via switch
scripts. All parameters are identical between runtimes.
New files:
- 58 Python scripts in .claude/skills/*/scripts/*.py
- scripts/switch-to-python.py and switch-to-powershell.py
- docs/python-porting-guide.md
- __pycache__/ added to .gitignore
