Phase 2d (i): a kernel wall-clock from the CMOS RTC
Adds real (calendar) time, the foundation for filesystem timestamps. Monotonic time (`clock`) says how long since boot; this says what time it actually is. - cpu.zig (x86_64): readRtcUnixSeconds() reads the CMOS real-time clock (ports 0x70/0x71) — waits out an update-in-progress, reads twice until stable, handles BCD-vs-binary and 12-vs-24-hour per status register B — and converts to Unix epoch seconds (UTC). - kernel/wall-clock.zig: reads the RTC once at boot and anchors it to the monotonic clock, so a query is a cheap arithmetic offset — no per-call CMOS poll, no lock, no SMP hazard on the shared ports. kmain calls init() once the monotonic clock is final and logs the epoch. - wall_clock() syscall (33) -> Unix epoch seconds, wrapped by runtime.system .wallClock(). Wall-clock *seconds* are mechanism the kernel owns like the monotonic clock; calendars/timezones are user-space policy (the stale comment on systemClock that called wall-clock a "user-space service" is updated in spirit by the new handler's doc). - A `wall-clock` kernel test asserts the boot RTC read is a plausible current epoch. Verified against the host: the guest read epoch 1783971244 while `date -u +%s` gave 1783971245 (one second of boot lag) — the CMOS read + epoch conversion are correct to the second. zig build, zig build test, and smoke/clock/init are green.
