Daniel Samson 65244e3103 Add input module: broadcast keyboard events over IPC
Programs can now subscribe to keyboard events (key_down/key_up/key_press)
and drivers can broadcast them, through a new user-space input service.

The delivery model is forced by danos IPC: a synchronous rendezvous holds
one pending reply, so a server cannot park N subscribers blocked in a
"wait for next event" call — delivery must be push. But a synchronous push
has no timeout and the kernel never wakes a sender parked on a dead peer's
endpoint, so one dying subscriber would hang all input. So this lands the
roadmap's planned asynchronous buffered send and builds the service on it:

- ipc_send (syscall 26): non-blocking post to an endpoint's bounded payload
  ring, delivered through reply_wait as a buffered message (notify_message_bit).
  A full ring drops the oldest. It can never hang on a dead/slow peer.
- input-protocol + runtime.input helpers (subscribe/next, connectSource/
  publish) — the first real consumer of M13 capability passing: a subscriber
  hands the service its own endpoint as a capability.
- input service (fan-out via ipc_send, dead-subscriber pruning), a synthetic
  input-source, and input-test; the ps2-bus keyboard driver publishes to it.
  Real IRQ1 scancode decoding (which must live in the bus, the PNP0303 owner)
  is a documented follow-up; the source is synthetic for now.
- build/init wiring, an `input` QEMU case, and docs/input.md.

Full QEMU suite 48/48, including the new input case and every IPC/endpoint
regression (ipc, ipc-call, ipc-cap, vfs, hpet, bus, irqfree).

//! /system/services/init — the first user-space program, PID 1. Built as its own
//! freestanding binary (see build.zig), shipped on the boot volume at /system/services/init,
//! loaded by the bootloader, and started in ring 3 as a scheduled process by the
//! kernel (system/kernel/process.zig). It links against the shared user runtime
//! library `runtime` and talks to the kernel only through `runtime`'s system_call wrappers.
//!
//! It proves the C-convention heap works, then — as PID 1 — acts as the system's
//! **service supervisor**: it spawns the user-space services danos brings up at boot
//! (the VFS server, the device manager), and settles into a heartbeat so it stays
//! alive as the root of user space. Drivers are *not* its job: the device manager
//! discovers the hardware and spawns those. This is the service half of the
//! service/driver spawn split (docs/driver-model.md).
