feat(infra): add QEMU graphics framebuffer packing shim and spec

- Add qemu_framebuffer_packer.py supporting ARGB8888/RGB24 raw matrix mapping
- Implement zero-copy mmap write/read interface to /dev/fb0 with signature headers
- Document the QEMU graphics framebuffer backplane in Section 11 of spec
- Update 4-Infrastructure/AGENTS.md and walkthrough.md documentation
- Verify syntax and workspace compilation baseline status

"""
QEMU Framebuffer Packer Use virtual graphics framebuffer (/dev/fb0) as a DMA computation backplane.
Packs Q16_16 fixed-point matrices directly into framebuffer pixel words:
- ARGB8888 (32-bit): 1 pixel = 1 Q16_16 scalar (100% density mapping)
- RGB24 (24-bit): 1 pixel = 3 bytes of raw payload data
Enforces the core principles of the Research Stack:
- NO FLOATS in compute paths. Fixed-point Q16_16 only.
- Zero-copy mapping via mmap on /dev/fb0.
- Machine-readable receipt generation.
