Post-reorg cleanup: POSIX layer, and naming fixes
Follow-up to the monorepo re-org. Suite 35/35 plus host tests green.

POSIX compatibility is now its own library, library/posix/ (unistd, stdio),
layered strictly over the runtime — it calls the runtime's IPC/heap, never
system calls directly. The runtime is now POSIX-free (the danos-native
application ABI). The VFS wire protocol is danos-native throughout
(Stat -> FileStatus, .stat -> .status, O_CREAT -> create); the POSIX layer
maps the POSIX spellings at the boundary. The coding standard's ABI-name
exception is scoped to one place: a file is allowed POSIX spellings only if it
lives under library/posix/ — everywhere else, danos naming with no exception.

Naming fixes, all mechanical:
- initrd -> initial-ramdisk: the source file, the module, the tool
  (make-initial-ramdisk.py), the artifact (initial-ramdisk.img, including the
  bootloader's load path), and the identifiers.
- system/kernel/device-service.zig -> devices-broker.zig: it is ring-0 kernel
  code (the trusted device table + claim capability), not a ring-3 service. The
  future user-space device *manager* (policy) will live in system/services/.
- Dropped the daemon `d` suffix: hpetd -> hpet, busd -> bus. A driver lives in
  system/drivers/, so the folder already says what it is; encoding the role in
  the name too is redundant. The coding standard drops that exception.
- system/devices/aml/interp.zig -> interpreter.zig (the type was already
  Interpreter).

M8: initrd handoff + multi-binary shipping
Ship more than one user binary: the bootloader now ferries an initrd bundle
(the VFS server + future drivers) alongside sbin/init, and the kernel unpacks
and spawns each program.

- src/user/proto/initrd.zig: the container format (Header{magic,count} +
  Entry{name[32],offset,len} + blobs) with a validating Reader, shared by the
  kernel and the packer.
- tools/mkinitrd.py: host-side packer (Python — trivial format, and sidesteps
  the reworked Zig 0.16 std fs/args API). build.zig runs it on the built user
  binaries via addSystemCommand and installs initrd.img to zig-out/bin + the
  ESP root.
- BootInfo gains initrd_base/initrd_len; efi.zig loadInit refactored into a
  shared loadFile, and loadInitrd ferries \initrd.img into surviving
  LoaderData like init.
- main.zig startInitrdBinaries(): parse the image, spawn every entry (kernel-
  spawns-all for now; init takes over via sys_spawn later).
- sbin/vfs.zig: a heartbeat stub (the real VFS server is M9), packed into the
  initrd to prove the pipeline.
- New `initrd` test: parse + spawn + confirm the vfs stub reaches ring 3 and
  heartbeats. Harness ships initrd.img on the ESP. Suite 30/30.
