KiCAD MCP Bot b4d114ac74 fix: Address critical Windows compatibility and JLCPCB issues (#36, #37, #35)
Phase 1 critical fixes addressing three high-priority issues:

Issue #36 - Windows IPC backend crash (os.getuid not available):
- Add platform detection to skip Unix-specific socket paths on Windows
- Use hasattr check before calling os.getuid()
- Windows now uses auto-detect fallback (named pipes)
- Maintains full Unix socket support on Linux/macOS

Issue #37 - Windows schematic file creation broken:
- Generate unique UUIDs instead of invalid all-zeros UUID
- Add explicit UTF-8 encoding for cross-platform compatibility
- Force Unix line endings (LF) to prevent Windows CRLF issues
- Update template file with valid placeholder UUID
- Fix hardcoded /tmp/ paths in wire_manager.py and pin_locator.py

Issue #35 - JLCPCB download limited to 100 parts:
- Change batch_size from 1000 to 100 to match tscircuit API limit
- Remove premature loop termination when batch < batch_size
- Add documentation explaining API limitation
- Expected result: Full ~2.5M part catalog download (40-60 minutes)

All changes maintain backward compatibility and include detailed comments.
