fix(gp2rs): write arrangement XML as UTF-8 so GP import survives non-ASCII metadata (#984)
The GP→arrangement-XML writers persisted their output with
`Path.write_text(xml_str)` and no explicit encoding. On Windows that uses
the cp1252 default, so a non-ASCII metadata character — e.g. the © in an
album name like "Chrysalis©1982" — was written as the lone byte 0xA9.
The XML is read back as UTF-8 (expat's default), where 0xA9 is an invalid
start byte, so `parse_arrangement` died with:

    xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 10, column 22

and the whole Guitar Pro import failed (HTTP 500). All three arrangement
XML writes (gp2rs.py, gp2rs_gpx.py ×2) now pin encoding="utf-8".

CI runs on Linux (UTF-8 default) so the bug was invisible there; the new
test pins the locale-independent contract at the source level plus a
round-trip of a © album name.
