Pass argv to processes on a SysV entry stack; grow the user stack to 32 KiB
Processes now start with C-compatible arguments: the kernel builds the System V AMD64 entry block (argc, argv, empty envp, auxiliary vector) at the top of the stack, argv[0] is the path or initial-ramdisk name the process was spawned as, and system_spawn carries an optional NUL-separated blob that becomes argv[1..]. The runtime parses the block (runtime.argumentCount/argument) and its spawn wrappers pass arguments through. The name is also recorded on the task, so a fault report says which binary died, not just its id. The user stack grows from one page to eight (32 KiB, parameters.user_stack_pages), with the page below left unmapped as a guard so an overflow faults into a clean process kill rather than corrupting the image. Task.name_buffer is zero-initialised, not undefined: an undefined default is materialised as a 0xAA fill that moved the static task pool out of .bss and made the whole kernel ~7x slower under QEMU TCG (caught by the affinity test). Proven end to end by the new args test: args-echo respawns itself with arguments via the syscall blob, burns more stack than one page could hold, and echoes its argv intact. Full suite: 44/44.
