M6: FAT read/write filesystem server, mounted into the VFS
Add a FAT12/16/32 filesystem the VFS mounts at /mnt/usb, reading and writing a
USB stick through the block device. Verified end to end under QEMU: the fat
server mounts the volume, the VFS routes /mnt/usb to it, and a client lists the
root and reads a file (the ELF magic of /mnt/usb/system/kernel).

- engine.zig: the FAT engine over a BlockDevice interface — mount (a bare FAT or,
  as QEMU's VVFAT and most real sticks present it, an MBR-partitioned disk), FAT
  chain walk (12/16/32), cluster allocation, directory traversal with long-name
  read, and file read / write / create. Host-tested against a RAM-backed FAT16
  image (create, cluster-spanning write, mid-file overwrite, read-back, list).
- on-disk.zig: the align(1) boot-sector / directory / long-name / FSInfo structs
  and the cluster-count FAT-type detection.
- fat.zig: the server — wraps the .block device (a DMA bounce buffer) in a
  BlockDevice, mounts the FAT, serves the vfs-protocol as a backend, and mounts
  itself into the VFS at /mnt/usb. Spawned by init as a boot service.
- runtime.block: the block-device client (geometry / read / write by physical
  address, so whole sectors never cross IPC).
- Raise the kernel service-name registry (maximum_services) 8 -> 16: it is
  indexed directly by ServiceId, and fat = 8 was being rejected, so the fat
  server exited before registering.
- VFS: an absolute path with no matching mount is now not-found rather than
  silently created in the flat ramfs — so /mnt/usb fails cleanly until mounted.

Tests: fat-mount (the full stack: block -> FAT -> VFS mount -> list + file read)
passes; host units cover the engine and on-disk structs; the vfs, shutdown, and
USB regression suite stays green (10/10).
