Log Message:
Add UTF-8 source file support to all devkit compilers and makepak

Devkit authors can now write source files (.evt, .txt, .lst, etc.) in UTF-8 instead of CP437 by naming them with `.u8.` before the final extension (e.g., `myquest.u8.evt`). The compilers detect the convention and convert each line from UTF-8 to CP437 at compile time; output is byte-identical to native CP437 input. Smart quotes and other unmapped codepoints produce clear errors with file name and line number.

New shared module: u8cp437.c/h with u8_fopen() and u8_fgets() wrappers.
39 unit tests cover the conversion table, fopen detection, fgets integration, and error paths.

Modified tools: langcomp, mcomp, mitems, mspells, mclass, ecomp, makenpc, makepak. Build verified clean (zero warnings) with all 271 unit tests and
364 integration tests passing.

Documentation: new section [0.3] in clandev.txt, cross-references in all 8
tool sections, complete 176-entry mapping table in docs/utf8.txt, and todo entries [1.9]-[1.11].
