Replaced manual UTF-8 and Latin-1 encoding logic in stdext::string.cpp with utf8cpp for improved correctness and cross-platform consistency. Updated CMake and vcpkg configuration to require utf8cpp. Added documentation on string encoding policy and comprehensive unit tests for encoding/decoding and validation functions.
