Claude a14a7c79b0 feat(sched): Weave tiered scheduler with real kernel-thread context switching
Replace the state-relabel-only round-robin with the SUB-OS "Weave"
scheduler backed by a genuine callee-saved context switch. Threads now
actually run on their own kernel stacks instead of merely having their
state field rewritten.

What was implemented:
- sub_ctx_switch(): per-arch assembly (arch/x86_64/cpu/switch.asm,
  arch/aarch64/cpu/switch.S, arch/armv8i/cpu/switch.S) that saves/restores
  the callee-saved register set (+ flags on x86_64) on each thread's own
  stack, plus a first-run trampoline (sub_thread_trampoline) that launches
  a freshly forged thread frame with entry/arg in callee-saved registers.
- task_forge_frame(): builds the initial saved-context frame per arch so
  the very first switch into a new thread lands on the trampoline; task_t
  gains a pointer-sized ctx_sp so the same struct works on 64- and 32-bit.
- Weave policy (kernel/sched.c): WEAVE_NLANES priority lanes, always
  dispatch the lowest non-empty lane round-robin; a task that yields
  voluntarily is woven UP a lane (interactive), one preempted after
  burning its quantum is woven DOWN (CPU-bound). Cooperative switching
  (sched_yield / task_exit) is always live; timer-driven preemption is
  gated behind sched_set_preempt() and left disarmed for now.
- task_exit() now switches to the next runnable thread via
  sched_exit_current() instead of spinning/halting.
- Boot-time weave_selftest() (x86_64) and sched_dump() diagnostics.

How it was verified:
- Builds clean for all three targets: x86_64 (CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-linux-gnu-,
  RUSTC="rustc --target x86_64-unknown-none"), aarch64, armv8i. No new
  warnings; the new x86_64 asm carries a .note.GNU-stack section.
- Booted x86_64 under QEMU (TCG): the self-test runs three cooperative
  kernel threads to completion on separate stacks with the expected
  1->2->3 round-robin interleave, reports "20 real context switches,
  3/3 workers exited", returns cleanly to the boot thread, and boot
  proceeds normally to ring-3 init and the shell. No fault/panic.

Left unverified:
- The aarch64/armv8i sub_ctx_switch frames build and link but are not yet
  boot-tested on their QEMU targets (tracked in docs/AUTODEV_ROADMAP.md).
- Timer preemption path is implemented but disarmed; exited kernel threads
  currently leak their stack (reaper is next in the backlog).

/*
* SUB-OS kernel context switch (AArch64)
* --------------------------------------
* void sub_ctx_switch(void** save_sp, void* load_sp)
* x0 = save_sp, x1 = load_sp
*
* Saves the AAPCS64 callee-saved registers (x19-x28) plus the frame pointer
* (x29) and link register (x30) of the outgoing thread, records its stack
* pointer through *save_sp, then adopts the incoming thread's stack and
* restores the mirror image. Returns into whoever is switched in.
*
* NOTE: implemented for parity with x86_64 and to keep the shared scheduler
* building on this target; not yet exercised on hardware/QEMU for aarch64.
