Add input module: broadcast keyboard events over IPC
Programs can now subscribe to keyboard events (key_down/key_up/key_press) and drivers can broadcast them, through a new user-space input service. The delivery model is forced by danos IPC: a synchronous rendezvous holds one pending reply, so a server cannot park N subscribers blocked in a "wait for next event" call — delivery must be push. But a synchronous push has no timeout and the kernel never wakes a sender parked on a dead peer's endpoint, so one dying subscriber would hang all input. So this lands the roadmap's planned asynchronous buffered send and builds the service on it: - ipc_send (syscall 26): non-blocking post to an endpoint's bounded payload ring, delivered through reply_wait as a buffered message (notify_message_bit). A full ring drops the oldest. It can never hang on a dead/slow peer. - input-protocol + runtime.input helpers (subscribe/next, connectSource/ publish) — the first real consumer of M13 capability passing: a subscriber hands the service its own endpoint as a capability. - input service (fan-out via ipc_send, dead-subscriber pruning), a synthetic input-source, and input-test; the ps2-bus keyboard driver publishes to it. Real IRQ1 scancode decoding (which must live in the bus, the PNP0303 owner) is a documented follow-up; the source is synthetic for now. - build/init wiring, an `input` QEMU case, and docs/input.md. Full QEMU suite 48/48, including the new input case and every IPC/endpoint regression (ipc, ipc-call, ipc-cap, vfs, hpet, bus, irqfree).
