runtime: std.log for every user binary — kernel-stamped attribution

library/runtime/log.zig wires std.log to the tagged ring: the root shim
installs std_options for every binary (programs may override), logFn
formats one line per record and emits it with its level via
debug_write — the payload no longer carries the process's name; the
kernel stamps identity structurally and the serial renderer prints the
'<binary path>: ' prefix, so the transcript keeps its shape.

Migrate every writeLine/logLine/log helper family (init, vfs, fat,
device-manager, acpi, pci-bus, ps2-bus x3, usb-hid x2, usb-storage,
usb-xhci-bus, virtio-gpu — 104 call sites) to std.log.info, dropping
the hand-written prefixes. A leveled record is a complete line by
contract (raw emissions may still build lines from pieces). Test
fixtures and the display/input services keep raw writes for now — their
ring records are attributed by the kernel regardless.

Harness regexes follow the renamed prefixes (usb-hid-keyboard,
discovery) and path-named restart lines.
