test(node): make the suite pass on Windows

- `.read_text()` on source files now `encoding="utf-8"` — cp1252 chokes on
  the em dashes / box-drawing chars those files contain.
- test node.toml templates embed paths via `Path.as_posix()`: a raw Windows
  path in a basic TOML string is a parse error (`\U`, `\a`, ... are escapes).
- new `test_platform.py` covers `meshbay_node.platform` by mocking
  `sys.platform` / `os.environ` — runs on both OSes.
- `skipif(sys.platform == "win32")`, in `conftest.needs_subprocess` and
  inline, for the documented gaps: ffmpeg/ffprobe via asyncio subprocess
  (the win32 selector loop, forced for aiortc, cannot spawn one), the
  systemd `reload`/`restart-daemon` delegation (Windows path is W3), the
  keystore `st_mode == 600` assertion (NTFS ignores mode bits), and the
  symlink-escape test (needs Developer Mode).

Windows: 781 passed, 25 skipped. No change on Linux.
