daniel ed3b3f1c45 threads(M8): the task reaper — reclaim dead tasks' kernel stacks
A dead task's kernel stack was leaked (no reaper), so every process/thread death
bled kernel memory. Now exit()/exitUserLocked record the dying task in a per-core
reap_after_switch slot and switch away; the task that resumes on that core frees
the stack in switchTo's tail (on its own stack, lock still held so the slot can't
be reused). reapKillPendingLocked drains the slot on the timer tick as a safety
net for the fresh-task case (a fresh task enters via the trampoline, bypassing
switchTo's tail). A task killed while not running is freed directly in
destroyTaskLocked. live_stack_bytes is the observable.

Fixed a migration bug this exposed: the post-switchContext reap read the pc
parameter, but a migrated task carries a stale pc in its saved switchTo frame ->
it freed the wrong core's pending stack (a #GP under SMP). Re-fetch thisCpu()
after the switch.

Gate task-reap PASS (5x isolated, 2x in the 24-case batch); full guardrail 24/24
incl. fault-recovery/supervision/process-kill/smp/affinity; build + host green.
