examples: add 5 new programs covering match/loop/logic/bitwise/scanline
Fills the biggest feature-coverage gaps in the existing example set:

- match_demo.ne          — match statement over a Screen enum,
                           driving a title / playing / paused /
                           game-over flow with a debounced controller.
- loop_break_continue.ne — `loop { ... }` with `break` and `continue`,
                           scanning an enemy array for the first hit.
- logic_ops.ne           — keyword-based `and` / `or` / `not` gating
                           movement and scoring on alive/paused flags.
- bitwise_ops.ne         — packed status-byte flags with `&` / `|` /
                           `^` / `>>` plus a health-bar render loop.
- scanline_split.ne      — MMC3 `on scanline(120)` handler rewriting
                           the scroll register mid-frame for a
                           classic status-bar split.

All 14 examples (9 existing + 5 new) pass the jsnes smoke test
(`14/14 ROMs rendered successfully`) and still pass `cargo fmt`,
`cargo clippy -D warnings`, and `cargo test`.

Known limitations surfaced while authoring these examples, to be
fixed in follow-up commits:

1. Array-literal global initializers (`var xs: u8[4] = [1,2,3,4]`)
   are silently dropped by `lower_program` — `eval_const` returns
   None for `Expr::ArrayLiteral` and no synthetic per-element
   init code is emitted. Affects `arrays_and_functions`,
   `structs_enums_for`, `loop_break_continue`, and any future
   array-using example. Arrays effectively boot at all-zero.

2. `draw` inside a loop body reuses one static OAM slot —
   `next_oam_slot` increments at IR-codegen time rather than at
   runtime, so N iterations all write to the same 4-byte OAM
   entry. Affects `arrays_and_functions`, `structs_enums_for`,
   `bitwise_ops` (health pips), and any loop that wants to
   render per-iteration sprites.

Both bugs are latent and didn't surface until I tried to write
examples that exercise the relevant features — the existing
integration tests only check iNES header structure, and the
jsnes smoke test's "at least one sprite rendered" bar is
satisfied by one sprite even when several were intended.
