kernel: shm cross-process shared memory capability (v2 V2)

Browse Source 
Generalize capability passing from endpoints to memory objects. The per-task
handle table now holds kind-tagged entries (scheduler.HandleObject{kind, ptr});
closeHandles and shareCapability dispatch by kind, so a shared-memory object
rides an ipc_call send_cap exactly like an endpoint and is refcount-freed only
when its last capability drops.

- shm_create(len) -> vaddr, handle: contiguous, zeroed, cacheable frames wrapped
  in a refcounted ShmObject, mapped into the caller's shm arena (PML4[230]).
- shm_map(cap) -> vaddr: map the same physical pages into a receiver that got the
  capability. mapUserSharedInto maps WB-cacheable + device_grant, so a sharer's
  teardown never frees the shared frames — the object owns them.
- runtime.shm: create(len) -> Region{ptr, handle, len}, map(handle) -> ptr.

Gate: qemu_test.py shm — shm-client creates a region, writes a pattern, passes
its capability to shm-server, which maps it and reads the same bytes back
(shm: shared 4096 bytes ok). ipc/ipc-call/ipc-cap/supervision/dma/usermem/
display-service and host tests all still pass — the handle change broke no IPC.
