* Fix UnicodeDecodeError on Windows reading subprocess output in save path
On Windows the default text encoding is the locale code page (cp1252), not
UTF-8. The text-mode subprocess calls in save.py (text=True /
universal_newlines=True) set no explicit encoding, so they decode
llama.cpp / Ollama output with cp1252. When a child process emits a byte
undefined in cp1252 -- e.g. 0x9d, which appears inside the UTF-8 encoding
of common punctuation / box-drawing glyphs and in non-ASCII file paths --
the read raises UnicodeDecodeError and aborts GGUF export.
Add encoding="utf-8", errors="replace" to all 8 text-mode subprocess calls.
errors="replace" also avoids silent mojibake for inputs whose bytes happen
to be valid-but-wrong in cp1252.
Add tests/saving/test_save_subprocess_utf8_encoding.py:
- an AST drift detector asserting every text-mode subprocess call in
save.py pins encoding="utf-8" (runs without importing torch/unsloth_zoo)
- a behavioural test reproducing the cp1252 failure and the utf-8 fix
