Add TextEncoder polyfill (WHATWG Encoding Standard) (#171)

Adds a `TextEncoder` polyfill that mirrors the existing `TextDecoder`
polyfill in this repository, so non-Babylon-Native consumers can get
both halves of the [WHATWG Encoding
Standard](https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/) from `JsRuntimeHost`
without having to pull in or duplicate a separate implementation.

`TextEncoder` is needed by older Chakra-based runtimes where the global
is not built in. Modern V8 / JSC / Hermes runtimes already expose it
natively, in which case `Initialize()` is a no-op.

## Surface

- `TextEncoder()` constructor — UTF-8 only, per spec
- `encoding` accessor — always `"utf-8"`
- `encode(input)` → `Uint8Array`
- `encodeInto(source, destination)` → `{ read, written }`
- `read` is in UTF-16 code units, so a 4-byte UTF-8 sequence (code point
outside the BMP) reports `2`
- Multi-byte UTF-8 sequences are never split across the destination
boundary

## Build / wiring

- New gated option `JSRUNTIMEHOST_POLYFILL_TEXTENCODER` (default `ON`),
matching the pattern used by every other polyfill in this repo.
- New `Polyfills/TextEncoder/` library with the same layout as
`Polyfills/TextDecoder/` (`CMakeLists.txt`,
`Include/Babylon/Polyfills/TextEncoder.h`, `Source/TextEncoder.cpp`,
`README.md`).
- Linked into the unit-test executable (Windows + Android) and
initialized in `Tests/UnitTests/Shared/Shared.cpp` next to
`TextDecoder::Initialize`.

## Tests

Adds a new `describe("TextEncoder", ...)` block in
`Tests/UnitTests/Scripts/tests.ts` covering:
- `encoding === "utf-8"`
- `encode()` on ASCII, undefined / no-arg, multi-byte UTF-8 (e.g. `"é"`
→ `[0xC3, 0xA9]`), and embedded null bytes
- `encodeInto()` happy path, refusal to split a multi-byte sequence when
the destination is too small, and the surrogate-pair `read` semantics
for `U+1F600`
- `encodeInto()` `TypeError` when the destination is not a `Uint8Array`

## Motivation

Surfaced during the BabylonNative review of
[BabylonJS/BabylonNative#1708](BabylonJS/BabylonNative#1708),
where this polyfill originally lived. Per @bghgary's review feedback,
`TextEncoder` belongs alongside `TextDecoder` in JsRuntimeHost so it's
available to any consumer of this runtime host, not just BN.

+# TextEncoder Polyfill
+
+A C++ implementation of the [WHATWG Encoding API](https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/) `TextEncoder` interface for use in Babylon Native JavaScript runtimes via [Napi](https://github.com/nodejs/node-addon-api).
+
+This is the encoding counterpart to the `TextDecoder` polyfill in this same repository. Both polyfills exist primarily for older Chakra-based runtimes where the WHATWG Encoding Standard globals are not built in. On modern V8 / JSC / Hermes runtimes the constructor is already exposed and `Initialize()` is a no-op.
+
+## Current State
+
+### Supported
+
+- Constructing `TextEncoder` with no argument (UTF-8 is the only encoding the spec mandates).
+- The `encoding` accessor (always returns `"utf-8"`).
+- `encode(input)` — returns a `Uint8Array` containing the UTF-8 bytes of `input`. Calling with no argument or `undefined` returns an empty `Uint8Array` (matches the spec, which defaults `input` to `""`).
+
+### Not Supported
+
+- Encodings other than UTF-8 — the `TextEncoder` constructor in the spec only accepts UTF-8 anyway, so this is not a deviation.
+- `encodeInto(source, destination)` — not implemented. Babylon.js does not call this entry point; the (substantially more involved) UTF-16-code-unit accounting it would require is not justified by any current consumer. If a future consumer needs it, it can be added at that time.
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+const encoder = new TextEncoder();
+encoder.encoding;                 // "utf-8"
+
+encoder.encode("Hello");          // Uint8Array(5) [72,101,108,108,111]
+encoder.encode();                 // Uint8Array(0) []
+```
