Address code-review feedback on the Cardiomyopathy VCEP build scripts. refs #37446

- cmpVCEPCardioBoost.py: add the standard --db/--output-dir CLI. It previously
hardcoded the working directory for both its input TSV and its output (unlike
the 11 sibling scripts, and contrary to the makedoc's documented interface);
the build loop's flags were silently ignored. Output is unchanged (31,236
variants per assembly).
- Decode leftover HTML entities (arrows, >=, <=, +/-, x) in print/stderr
diagnostics, comments, and docstrings across all scripts so build logs read
cleanly. The mouseOver / bigBed display strings intentionally keep their
entities.
- cmpVCEPWalsh2019.py: fix the stale docstring that described the
ClinVar-unmatched entries as "deferred" (they are mapped via the hgvsToVcf
fallback, item L) and drop the unverified "163 rows" count.

Per code-review feedback on commit aa5669fe64. No track data changed.

 HONESTY / KNOWN LIMITS (surfaced to the VCEP, not hidden):
   * This mockup CANNOT compute the clinical/functional codes (PS2, PS3, PS4, PP1,
     PP4, BS3, BS4). Many true P/LP calls rest on those, so this track structurally
     under-calls pathogenicity. It is best read as a benign/VUS-axis + "flag for
     expert review" aid, NOT an accuracy claim. No concordance metric is asserted.
   * PS1/PM5 reference set: the CSpec names NO database ("apply per Richards 2015").
     We use the VCEP EvRepo P/LP set with LEAVE-ONE-OUT (a variant cannot earn PS1/PM5
     from its own EvRepo entry). The choice of reference DB is an open VCEP question.
   * PM4 strength (MOD vs SUP) and BP7 conservation metric/threshold are not fixed by
