Subject: [PATCH] fix(cli): decode cua-driver autostart PowerShell output as
 UTF-8

Widen of the PowerShell codepage cluster: the autostart registration
subprocess in tools_config.py was the last text=True capture in these
modules still decoding with the locale code page. Standardize on
encoding='utf-8', errors='replace' like the rest of the file (#53428).
