metatiles + collision: metatileset, room, paint_room, collides_at

Closes §H. 2×2 metatiles and a parallel collision map are now a
first-class construct. `metatileset Name { metatiles: [{ id, tiles,
collide }, ...] }` declares a library of 2×2 tile bundles. `room Name
{ metatileset: M, layout: [...] }` lays them out on a 16×15 grid. The
compiler expands each room at compile time into:

- a 960-byte nametable (`__room_tiles_<name>`)
- a 64-byte attribute table (`__room_attrs_<name>`)
- a 240-byte collision bitmap (`__room_col_<name>`)

`paint_room Name` reuses the vblank-safe `load_background` update
machinery for the nametable blit and installs the collision bitmap
pointer into `ZP_ROOM_COL_LO`/`ZP_ROOM_COL_HI` (ZP $18/$19).
`collides_at(x, y)` JSRs into a small runtime helper that reads
`(room_col),Y` with `Y = (y & 0xF0) | (x >> 4)` and returns 0/1.
The helper links in only when the `__collides_at_used` marker is
emitted, so programs that declare a room but never query it pay
zero bytes for the subroutine.

`parse_byte_array` grows a `[value; count]` shortcut — 240-entry
`layout` arrays are unwieldy to spell out a byte at a time.

See `examples/metatiles_demo.ne` for the end-to-end flow: a probe
sprite bounces off walls via `collides_at` and lands on the left
side of the playfield at frame 180 — direct evidence that the
collision query works.

Also defers the register-allocator work from §"Code quality /
tooling" and documents the audio-goldens constraint in future-work
so the next agent sees it.
