Add process management: enumerate, supervisor-gated kill, exit notifications
process_enumerate snapshots the task table (the device_enumerate shape, so ps is a user program); system_spawn returns the child id, records the caller as supervisor, and takes an exit endpoint; process_kill is allowed only for the supervisor. Every death — exit, fault, or kill — posts a child-exit badge to that endpoint (the IRQ-as-IPC pattern as SIGCHLD). A target caught off-CPU is reaped in place; a running one is condemned and finished at its next system call or tick, guarded so teardown never lands mid-kernel-operation. Tested by process-list, process-kill, and supervision (a ring-3 supervisor exercising the whole surface); design notes in docs/process-management.md.
