audio: triangle and noise sfx channels
Adds `channel: triangle` / `channel: noise` to the `sfx` declaration
form. The existing pulse-1 / pulse-2 driver is unchanged (and is
still byte-identical for programs that don't use the new channels)
— when a program declares a triangle or noise sfx the runtime
splices in an additional per-channel slot that writes to $4008-
$400B (triangle) or $400C-$400F (noise) on play. Includes a new
`examples/noise_triangle_sfx.ne` demo with committed golden PNG +
audio hash.

// Noise / Triangle SFX Demo
//
// Showcases the newer `channel:` property on `sfx` blocks. The audio
// driver's per-frame tick gains a noise channel (writes to $400C) and
// a triangle channel (writes to $4008) whenever the program declares
// at least one sfx targeting those channels. Programs that stick to
// pulse 1 still emit the exact same driver code as before.
//
// Every 30 frames we trigger one of the two effects and move a small
// smiley back and forth so it's obvious the program is still running.
// The emulator harness sees the registers get poked and hashes the
// APU output, so the golden locks in both the pixels *and* the sound.
//
// Build: cargo run -- build examples/noise_triangle_sfx.ne
// Output: examples/noise_triangle_sfx.nes
game "Noise Triangle SFX" {
mapper: NROM
}
// A short, sharp noise burst — perfect for explosions / footsteps.
// `pitch: 4` indexes the APU's 16-entry noise period table; lower
// values are higher-pitched. `volume` is a per-frame amplitude ramp,
// exactly like a pulse sfx.
sfx Crash {
channel: noise
pitch: 4
volume: [15, 13, 11, 9, 7, 5, 3, 1]
}
// A sustained triangle "bass" note. Triangle has no volume register,
// so `volume:` entries are just "hold" flags — nonzero means sustain,
// zero means silence. The numeric value doesn't matter.
// `pitch: 60` picks a period-table entry; triangle shares the pulse
// period table, and 60 is the lowest note in it (C1).

channel: triangle
