linker+ci: fix .dbg seg.ooffs to include iNES header + deepen probe

The `seg.ooffs` field in our ca65 .dbg output was off by 16 — it was
emitting the PRG-relative fixed-bank offset when ca65's convention
(and Mesen's DbgImporter.cs:301 math:
`Address = val - seg.start + ooffs - headerSize`) expects the raw
output-file offset, *including* the iNES header. The practical
consequence: every label Mesen resolved via the .dbg was 16 bytes
short of its true PRG offset, which silently corrupted source-line
mapping for the first bytes of each function.

Fix is a one-liner — drop the `saturating_sub(16)` and feed
`linked.fixed_bank_file_offset` straight into the ooffs field. Unit
tests in debug_symbols.rs updated to assert the new values (ooffs=16
for NROM, 16+16K*N for banked).

The Mesen probe (`tests/mesen/probe.lua`) is expanded in the same
change, because the sabotage test that caught this bug is also the
cleanest demonstration the probe is working:
 * checks all four entry-point labels resolve and land inside the
   fixed bank's CPU window ($C000-$FFFF);
 * asserts the linker's relative ordering (main_loop < Main_frame
   < nmi);
 * registers a startFrame callback, waits three frames, and verifies
   PC is still in the fixed bank + that `emu.read(main_loop.address,
   nesPrgRom)` returns 0xA5 (the LDA-zp opcode the runtime always
   places as main_loop's first instruction). The 0xA5 constant is
   what catches the ooffs regression — a less-specific "not 0xFF"
   check coincidentally passed even with ooffs=0 because the shifted
   address still landed on real code.

Verified locally by running the probe against hello_sprite's ROM
with four different `.dbg` mutations and confirming each triggers
the expected exit code.

+-- handful of .dbg features in order of increasing depth:
+--
+--   1. Each `sym` record resolves via `emu.getLabelAddress`.
+--   2. Addresses land in sensible ranges that match the compiler's
+--      linker output (Mesen applies `val - seg.start + ooffs - 16`
+--      to produce PRG-relative byte offsets, so our `seg` record's
+--      `ooffs` must include the iNES header or every address shifts
+--      by 16 bytes — which was a real bug caught by this test).
+--   3. The emulator actually runs: after three `startFrame` events
+--      the CPU's PC must be inside the fixed bank's CPU window.
+--   4. `emu.read()` returns the iNES header's magic bytes from
+--      `nesPrgRom`, confirming the PRG region is mapped where our
+--      linker said.
+--
+-- Mesen's `emu.log` writes to an internal buffer the testRunner
+-- doesn't expose to stdout, so the only reliable signal back to CI
+-- is the process exit code via `emu.stop(code)`. Each failure path
+-- has a unique small-integer code so the CI log pinpoints which
