Userland sources live in usr/ (fits the Unix theme better than 'c').
SDCC output .bin blobs land in build/usr/ with the other build artifacts
instead of littering the source dir; programs.asm INCBINs them from there.
Byte-identical ROM.

<title>net: DHCP client - lease the IP at boot instead of hardcoding it</title>

The address is no longer baked in. net_init starts at 0.0.0.0; a DHCP client
runs as the first thing on boot (init/shell forks it and waits), and only once
it has a lease (or gives up) does the prompt appear.

Kernel:
- IP is configurable: 0.0.0.0 until leased; NET_SETIP op stores it.
- 16-bit frame length. DHCP/BOOTP packets are ~272 bytes, over the old 255-byte
  frame cap, so net_slip_send takes a 16-bit length, net_pump assembles into a
  320-byte buffer with a 16-bit wNetRxLen, and udp_send writes a 16-bit IP total.
  Payloads stay &lt;=255 (kept small on purpose) so the per-protocol datalen math
  is unchanged. wNetTx/wNetRxBuf 256-&gt;320, SK_RXBUF 208-&gt;288.

Userland:
- c/dhcp.c: DISCOVER-&gt;OFFER-&gt;REQUEST-&gt;ACK over a UDP socket, then net_setip();
  times out gracefully (shell still boots) if there's no server. sh.c runs it
  before the prompt.

Bridge (self-contained DHCP server, no dnsmasq):
- tunbridge.py + netboot intercept UDP-&gt;:67 and answer OFFER/ACK leasing
  10.0.0.2 (gateway 10.0.0.1); everything else is bridged/NATed as before.

Regression-tested ICMP/UDP/TCP after the 16-bit change. Verified end to end:
    dhcp: discovering
    dhcp: leased 10.0.0.2
    /# ping 10.0.0.1   -&gt; 4/4 (traffic from the leased address)
