R1.11 AddTagExtendedPropertiesAsync: extended-property write via AddTEx

Adds user-defined extended properties to an existing tag via the 2020 WCF
AddTEx (AddTagExtendedProperties) op. Write-enabled connection + uppercase
storage-session GUID handle; reuses the write orchestrator open/priming chain.

The AddTEx inBuff is the exact inverse of the R1.5 GetTepByNm read-response
framing, so the serializer mirrors the read parser:
  uint32 groupCount + 0x01(group) + [0x09+u16+ASCII tag] + uint32 propCount
  + per prop{ 0x02 + [0x09+u16+ASCII name] + 0x43 VT_BSTR + u16 payloadLen
  + u16 charCount + UTF-16 value } + 0x01(group trailer) + 0x00(terminator).
The trailing 0x00 is required — without it inBuff is one byte short and the
server throws SErrorException in CHistStorage::AddTagExtendedProperties. The
golden fixture pins the clean inBuff the live server accepted (dumped via
AVEVA_HISTORIAN_TEP_DUMP); read-back verified via R1.5. String (0x43) values only.

Delete (DelTep) is deferred: the native DeleteTagExtendedPropertiesByName does a
client-side sync check and returns err 229 for a just-added property, so the
DelTep request never reaches the wire and its inBuff can't be captured yet.

.SYNOPSIS
Captures the native AVEVA client's AddTagExtendedProperties / DeleteTagExtendedProperties wire
traffic (HCAL roadmap R1.11) so the AddTEx / DelTep inBuff layout can be decoded, not guessed.
.DESCRIPTION
Drives the .NET-Framework NativeTraceHarness's `add-tep` scenario against the live Historian with
an IL-rewritten copy of aahClientManaged.dll whose ClientMessageEncoder.WriteMessage AND
ReadMessage are instrumented. The harness opens a WRITE-enabled connection, creates a sandbox tag
(RetestSdkWrite...), and calls AddTagExtendedProperties(TagExtendedPropertyGroupList, out err) with
one string property (and DeleteTagExtendedPropertiesByName when -Delete).
Decode with scripts/decode-add-tep-capture.py: the WCF.WriteMessage.Body whose op is AddTEx carries
the inBuff (tag name + property name/value); DelTep carries the delete inBuff (tag + property names).
SAFETY: sandbox-guarded — the tag MUST start with 'RetestSdkWrite'. Default run leaves the tag +
property in place (unless -Delete); pass -Delete to also capture DelTep and remove the property.
.NOTES
Artifacts are diagnostic and gitignored. Sanitize before copying into docs/.
