Phase 1a: add the native runtime.fs, retire the posix shim
The first step of the Zig self-hosting roadmap (docs/zig-self-hosting.md): give danos programs a danos-native file API and remove the premature POSIX compatibility shim. This also resolves the earlier misplacement of a full-write helper into the compat layer — that behaviour now lives natively in runtime.fs.File.writeAll. - library/runtime/fs.zig: the danos-native file client over the VFS (open/read/ write/writeAll/seekTo/attributes/close, directory listing, mount). Handles are *values* — a File/Directory owns its VFS node id and byte offset — so there is no per-process fd table or descriptor limit, unlike the POSIX fd model the shim emulated. This is where the operations that later become std.os.danos are staged. - Retire library/posix/ (unistd, stdio): only five call sites used it, all file operations, all migrated to runtime.fs — fat (mount), the vfs-test and fat-test clients, and init/log-flush (the boot-log flush). stdio was already dead. - build.zig: drop the posix module, its addUserBinary parameter, the per-binary import, and the ~26 call-site arguments. - Docs: the VFS protocol's client is now runtime.fs; the docs index and coding-standards note posix is retired and the foreign-ABI naming exception now applies to the future std.os.danos seam; the process-lifecycle note points the future musl layer at that same seam rather than the deleted directory. Deferred by design (see the roadmap): the C-ABI runtime.os errno seam is built at fork time (its shape must match std/os/danos.zig); truncate/mkdir/rename are Phase 2; stdio-byte fds and cwd are later slices. Verified: zig build, zig build test, zig build check-fat-image, and a sequential QEMU sweep — vfs, vfs-client-death (the park/hold-handle path), fat-mount, log-flush, orderly-shutdown, initial-ramdisk (log-flush silent in the bare sweep), smoke, init, usb-storage, device-manager — all green.
