[code-simplifier] Simplify PR review proposal script utilities

[github-actions]

Overview

This PR refines recently-added PR review proposal utilities to make the script easier to use and less error-prone, while preserving existing behavior.

Files Simplified

• .github/scripts/pr_review_propose.py
  • Added two small, focused subcommands that were already implied by the surrounding workflow/tests (build-qa-context, render-qa-prompt).
  • Made parse-checkboxes read files explicitly as UTF-8 for consistency.

Improvements Made

1. Enhanced clarity & completeness
   • Exposed helpers as first-class subcommands instead of ad-hoc usage.
2. More robust IO
   • Explicit UTF-8 reads for comment bodies and templates.

Testing

• python -m compileall -q .github/scripts
• Manual smoke checks:
  • build-comment, parse-checkboxes, format-names, build-qa-context, render-qa-prompt

Context

Changes are based on recent additions in the last 24h window (including #27168).
