fix(windows): add ensure_utf8_streams() for Windows GBK encoding + ConPTY docs

- Add ensure_utf8_streams() in output.py: reconfigures stdout/stderr to UTF-8
  on Windows at CLI startup, fixing emoji UnicodeEncodeError on GBK locales
- Call ensure_utf8_streams() in cli() entry point — one-line fix for all
  output paths (click.echo, rich Console, print)
- Add Windows ConPTY troubleshooting to README (English + Chinese):
  document Git Bash workaround, ConPTY pipe capture issue, and encoding notes
