lang: NES 2.0 headers and u16 struct fields
Implements two items from docs/future-work.md's language-feature gaps:

NES 2.0 header support: `RomBuilder` gains a `header_format` field
and a matching `enable_nes2()` method. When enabled, byte 7 bits 2-3
are set to `10` and bytes 8-15 are populated per the NES 2.0 spec
(submapper, PRG/CHR MSBs, PRG/CHR RAM, timing). The header stays
16 bytes. Programs opt in via `game Foo { header: nes2 }`; the
default remains iNES 1.0 so every committed example ROM is byte
identical. `validate_ines` now detects and reports which format it
parsed.

u16 struct fields: the analyzer's `register_struct` accepts `u16`
fields with a two-byte size and the struct-variable allocator tracks
per-field sizes so the synthesized `pos.x`/`pos.y` globals get the
right address span. IR lowering's `LValue::Field` and
`Expr::FieldAccess` follow the same wide path as u16 globals, and
struct-literal initialization writes both bytes for u16 fields.
Array and nested-struct fields stay rejected with a clearer
message. Existing u8/i8/bool struct programs are unaffected.

banks: implement multi-bank PRG layout and bank-switching runtime
Prior to this commit the linker always shipped a single 16 KB PRG
bank regardless of the declared mapper, so the README's MMC1/UxROM/
MMC3 support was aspirational. This commit gives the three banked
mappers a real multi-bank ROM layout:

  * RomBuilder.set_prg_banks() writes any number of 16 KB banks
    back-to-back so the iNES header reflects the true PRG size.
  * Linker.link_banked() places switchable banks first, fixed bank
    last, so the fixed bank maps to $C000-$FFFF (the address window
    where vectors and the runtime live).
  * runtime::gen_mapper_init() emits reset-time mapper config:
    MMC1 serial-writes a control-register value that pins the last
    bank at $C000 with the correct mirroring, UxROM relies on the
    power-on default, MMC3 writes the $8000/$8001/$A000/$E000
    registers to get a known PRG and mirroring state.
  * runtime::gen_bank_select() is a mapper-specific subroutine
    (callable with the target bank in A) that maps any physical
    bank to $8000-$BFFF.
  * runtime::gen_bank_trampoline() generates a cross-bank call
    stub in the fixed bank that saves the caller's bank, switches,
    JSRs the target, and restores the fixed bank.
  * The CLI and integration helper thread declared `bank X: prg`
    declarations through to the linker so MMC1/UxROM/MMC3 programs
    actually produce multi-bank ROMs.

Coverage:

  * Runtime unit tests (18 new): mapper init patterns for every
    supported mapper, bank-select signatures, trampoline dispatch
    order, UxROM bus-conflict table contents.
  * RomBuilder tests (6 new): multi-bank layout, padding,
    byte-level fidelity, per-bank size validation, legacy
    single-bank fallback.
  * Linker tests (13 new): multi-bank ROM sizes across MMC1/
    UxROM/MMC3, fixed-bank placement, switchable-bank payload
    fidelity, bank-select subroutine detection, NROM rejection
    of switchable banks.
  * Integration e2e tests (16 new): compile real .ne sources
    through the full pipeline and assert on iNES headers,
    mapper init signatures in the fixed bank, vector locations,
    and a regression check against `examples/mmc1_banked.ne`.

Total: 474 tests pass under `cargo test` with
`RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings"`.

M4+M5: Optimizer passes, type casting, bank switching, math runtime
Milestone 4 — Optimization & Polish:
- Strength reduction: multiply by power-of-2 → shift left
- Zero-page promotion analysis: rank variables by access frequency
- `as` type casting expression in parser/AST/analyzer
- `scroll(x, y)` statement
- `--asm-dump` flag for viewing generated assembly
- Extended optimizer tests (strength reduction, frequency analysis)

Milestone 5 — Bank Switching & Release:
- Mapper support: MMC1 (1), UxROM (2), MMC3 (4) in parser and ROM builder
- Bank declarations: `bank Name: prg` / `bank Name: chr`
- Linker::with_mapper for mapper-aware ROM generation
- Software multiply (8x8→16, shift-and-add algorithm)
- Software divide (8÷8→8, restoring division algorithm)
- ROM tests for mapper encoding round-trip
- Integration test for MMC1 compilation

210 tests total (18 new), all pre-commit checks pass.

Implement NEScript compiler Milestone 1 ("Hello Sprite")
Complete implementation of the NEScript compiler pipeline for M1:
- Lexer: full tokenization with hex/binary/decimal literals, all keywords, operators
- Parser: recursive descent with Pratt expression parsing (M1 subset)
- Analyzer: symbol resolution, type checking, memory allocation
- 6502 Assembler: full opcode encoding table (~150 valid combinations)
- Code Generator: AST → 6502 instructions (direct, no IR for M1)
- Runtime: NES hardware init, NMI handler, controller read, OAM DMA
- Linker: NROM layout, vector table, palette loading, CHR data
- ROM Builder: iNES header generation, PRG/CHR padding
- CLI: `build` and `check` subcommands via clap

143 tests across all modules:
- 22 lexer tests (literals, keywords, operators, error recovery)
- 18 parser tests (expressions, statements, game structure, errors)
- 7 analyzer tests (symbol resolution, memory allocation, transitions)
- 30 assembler tests (every addressing mode, label resolution)
- 7 codegen tests (var init, arithmetic, buttons, draw, comparisons)
- 11 runtime tests (init sequence, NMI handler, controller read)
- 10 ROM builder tests (iNES format, mirroring, banking, validation)
- 5 linker tests (vector table, CHR data, palette loading)
- 7 integration tests (end-to-end compilation, error detection)

CI: GitHub Actions for check, fmt, clippy, test
Pre-commit: script for local fmt + clippy + test validation
