feat(drivers): HPET high-res timer, LPT parallel port, CMOS NVRAM

Add three real platform device drivers (x86 hardware, ARM-stubbed):

- drivers/timer/hpet.c + include/drivers/hpet.h: High Precision Event Timer.
  Maps the HPET block at the standard 0xFED00000, reads the femtosecond period
  from the capability register, enables the main counter and exposes a
  monotonic nanosecond time source (hpet_get_ns) far finer than the 100 Hz PIT.
- drivers/char/lpt.c + include/drivers/lpt.h: IBM PC parallel port (LPT1) with
  the Centronics data/strobe handshake over ports 0x378/0x379/0x37A.
- drivers/char/nvram.c + include/drivers/nvram.h: MC146818 CMOS NVRAM read/write
  over 0x70/0x71, preserving the NMI-disable bit, with checksum and hex dump.

Wired all three into the [5/14] device-enumeration boot step and added LazyBox
applets `hpet`, `lpt`, and `nvram`.

Verified live under QEMU (screenshotted): HPET reports 100 MHz / 3 comparators /
10 ns period and its counter advances ~1.4 s of real time between two `hpet`
runs; NVRAM dumps 128 bytes with a computed checksum; LPT1 detected at 0x378.
Clean build on x86_64/aarch64/armv8i; 0 panics / 0 OOM.
