Backport of repo-template#339.

The 'Fetch trusted configuration files from main branch' step writes the protected configs back via Out-File -Encoding UTF8 (BOM-prefixed). The .NET analyzer engine appears to ignore BOM-prefixed .editorconfig files, so project severity overrides don't apply on CI — analyzers fire at default severity and TreatWarningsAsErrors escalates findings that pass locally.

This is a 4-line workflow-only change: UTF8UTF8NoBOM at the four call sites. PowerShell 6+ supports the encoding token; shell: pwsh runners use PS 7+, so it's safe.

Diagnosed against In-memory-Logger PR #32 / run 24996715587.

Backport of repo-template PR #339. The 'Fetch trusted configuration files
from main branch' step writes .editorconfig / Directory.Build.props /
BannedSymbols.txt back via 'Out-File -Encoding UTF8' which writes UTF-8
*with* BOM. The .NET analyzer engine appears to ignore .editorconfig
files prefixed by a BOM, so project-level severity overrides don't apply
on CI even though they apply locally — analyzers fire at default severity
and TreatWarningsAsErrors then escalates them to errors.

Switch to 'Out-File -Encoding UTF8NoBOM' (PS 6+; the runner uses pwsh).
