fix: prevent bom in json files written by install-hooks.ps1

**Problem**: PowerShell's `Set-Content -Encoding UTF8` adds a UTF-8 BOM
(Byte Order Mark: EF BB BF) to files, which breaks JSON parsers and causes
Claude Code to show "Invalid or malformed JSON" errors.

**Impact**: Users cannot use Claude Code after running install-hooks because
settings.json becomes unparseable.

**Root Cause**: 7 locations in install-hooks.ps1 used:
```powershell
$settings | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10 | Set-Content $file -Encoding UTF8
```

**Solution**: Replace all instances with BOM-free write method:
```powershell
$json = $settings | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10
[System.IO.File]::WriteAllText($file, $json, (New-Object System.Text.UTF8Encoding $false))
```

The third parameter `$false` prevents BOM from being added.

**Changes**:
- Fixed 7 JSON write operations in install-hooks.ps1
- Added test-bom-fix.ps1 to verify no BOM is added
- All tests pass confirming the fix works

**Testing**:
Run `pwsh test-bom-fix.ps1` to verify:
- NEW method does NOT add BOM (7B 0D 0A...)
- OLD method DOES add BOM (EF BB BF 7B...)
- JSON remains valid and parseable

Fixes: Users unable to use Claude Code after hook installation
