kernel: implement fork()
- sys_fork: switch to a kernel stack, bump-allocate a cart-RAM bank, copy the parent's 8 KiB bank via a WRAM bounce buffer, plant a switch-in frame so the child returns 0 to the post-fork PC, fill the child PCB (shared ROM text) - add AllocRamBank (bump allocator) + FindFreeSlot helpers - demo: init forks; parent prints P, child prints C (PCPC...); nested fork gives three distinct pids (123...) - README: document the fork mechanism, mark syscall status
