Major architectural refactorbto focus exclusively on JIT development.
JIT & Decoder Architecture
- Implemented scripts/generate_jit_decoder_a32_table.py to parse
instruction definitions at build-time rather than runtime.
- Moves decoder lookup tables from RAM to ROM.
Scope Reduction:
- Removed frontend, GUI, and rendering dependencies.
- delete src/frontend, src/target, and associated design docs.
Most importantly, this commit starts the transition of this codebase
from C++ to C. I cant stand creating C++ code, and since no one else
is contributing to this project this change shouldnt matter.

The core of the machine-type support is the new operations table,
kvm_ops_t. This acts as a standard C-style virtual table decoupling the
generic KVM core logic from target specific hardware emualtion. The
kvm_t VM instance now points to an ops table, which defines the
"personality" of the guest. A kvm_probe() factory function has been
added to initialize a kvm_t instance with the correct ops table for a
given machine type (eg, Switch 1).
The ops table's .mmio_read and .mmio_write function pointers are the
link between the armv8 CPU core and this new MMIO dispatcher. When a
physical memory access is determined to be MMIO, the VM will call the
appropriate function pointer, which in turn will use the MMIO dispatcher
to find and execute the correct device handler.
The initial implementation for the Switch 1 target
(targets/switch1/hardware/probe.cpp) is a stub. The bootstrapping
logic will be added in subsequent patches.
