Reorganize source tree: kernel/, v3/, v4/ split and board infrastructure

Source tree reorganization:
- Move StarForth v3 engine to v3/ (src/, include/, Makefile)
- Move kernel to kernel/ (src/, include/, linker/, Makefile)
- Create v4/ skeleton for F18-ISA golden model (DECOMPOSITION.md, JUSTIFICATION.md)
- Move FABRIC-0..4.md to docs/fabric/
- Move ONTOLOGY.md and ROADMAP.md to docs/

Board infrastructure:
- Add boards/ser5/, boards/raspi/, boards/milkv/, boards/zynq7020/
- Each board has board.mk (ISA, CPU flags, boot recipe) and README.md
- Root Makefile becomes thin dispatcher: boot_image, all, clean, docs take TARGET
- make boot_image TARGET=SER5|RASPI|MILKV builds one GPT/MBR image per board
- ZYNQ7020 target exists but stops with clear error (ARMv7 port not built yet)
- scripts/mkdiskimage.sh builds disk images for all boards

Docs pipeline:
- docs/book/ with LaTeX master (main.tex) and Makefile
- pandoc converts Markdown to LaTeX at build time
- Two Lua filters: table-widths.lua (wide tables wrap), code-breaks.lua (inline code breaks)
- make docs builds single PDF (754 pages, 0 missing characters)
- make docs TARGET=<board> adds board appendix
- build/docs/<book|board>/meta.tex stamps git commit into PDF

Bug fixes:
- 42 include paths that only worked by accident now use correct relative paths
- clang-18 hardcode replaced with configurable CC variable (fixed aarch64 build)
- Pi 5: kernel_2712.img linked at 0x80000, .bss zeroed, memory reserved
- Doxyfile, .clang-tidy, README.md, Kconfig paths updated

Verified:
- Hosted v3 build passes 1012 tests, 0 failures
- SER5 image boots in QEMU (OVMF), POST passes, K exact (65536 = Q48_ONE)
- Milk-V image boots in QEMU (OpenSBI + U-Boot + bootefi), POST passes
- make clean TARGET=<board> removes only that board and its ISA objects
- make all builds all boards, hosted v3, and docs in one run

rolling_window_knobs.h - Tunable Adaptive Shrinking Control
Knobs that control how the rolling window automatically learns and adapts
its size during execution. These are NOT the initial window size - they
control the self-tuning behavior.
All knobs are tunable via Makefile:
make ADAPTIVE_SHRINK_RATE=30 (shrink by 30% instead of default)
make ADAPTIVE_MIN_WINDOW_SIZE=512 (never shrink below 512)
etc.

#ifndef ROLLING_WINDOW_KNOBS_H
#define ROLLING_WINDOW_KNOBS_H
#include "starforth_config.h"
/* ============================================================================
* Knob #8: ADAPTIVE_SHRINK_RATE - How aggressively to shrink the window
* ============================================================================
*
* When pattern diversity plateaus, the window shrinks by this percentage.
*
* Value: 0-99 (percentage to retain, not discard)
* ADAPTIVE_SHRINK_RATE=75 → shrink to 75% of current size (discard 25%)
* ADAPTIVE_SHRINK_RATE=50 → shrink to 50% of current size (discard 50%)
* ADAPTIVE_SHRINK_RATE=90 → shrink to 90% of current size (discard 10%)
*
* Rationale:
* Higher (90+): Conservative, slow learning, larger final window
* Default (75): Balanced - learns in 3-4 shrink cycles
* Lower (50): Aggressive, fast learning, minimal final window
*
* Trade-off:
* Higher = safer (more pattern capture margin, slower adaptation)
* Lower = leaner (less memory overhead, faster optimization)
*
* Default: see starforth_config.h (STARFORTH_CONFIG_ADAPTIVE_SHRINK_RATE_DEFAULT)
* Range: 50-95 (below 50 is too aggressive, above 95 barely shrinks)
*
* Tuning: make ADAPTIVE_SHRINK_RATE=80
*/
/* ============================================================================
* Knob #9: ADAPTIVE_MIN_WINDOW_SIZE - Minimum window size (safety floor)
* ============================================================================
*
* The window will never shrink below this size, even if diversity plateaus.
* Prevents over-optimization that might miss emerging patterns.
*
* Value: 64-2048 (in word IDs, not bytes)
* ADAPTIVE_MIN_WINDOW_SIZE=256 → don't shrink below 256
* ADAPTIVE_MIN_WINDOW_SIZE=128 → don't shrink below 128
* ADAPTIVE_MIN_WINDOW_SIZE=512 → don't shrink below 512
*
* Rationale:
* Smaller (128): Lean optimization, accept lower pattern capture
* Default (256): Balanced - typical workload needs 200-250 patterns
* Larger (512): Conservative, handles complex workloads
*
* Trade-off:
* Smaller = less memory, risk of missing edge-case patterns
* Larger = more memory, safer for unpredictable workloads
*
* Default: see starforth_config.h (STARFORTH_CONFIG_ADAPTIVE_MIN_WINDOW_SIZE_DEFAULT)
* Range: 64-1024
*
* Tuning: make ADAPTIVE_MIN_WINDOW_SIZE=512
*/
/* ============================================================================
* Knob #10: ADAPTIVE_CHECK_FREQUENCY - How often to check diversity
* ============================================================================
*
* The system checks pattern diversity every N executions.
* More frequent checks = faster response to saturation, more overhead.
*
* Value: 32-1024 (execution count between checks)
* ADAPTIVE_CHECK_FREQUENCY=128 → check after every 128 executions
* ADAPTIVE_CHECK_FREQUENCY=256 → check after every 256 executions
* ADAPTIVE_CHECK_FREQUENCY=512 → check after every 512 executions
*
* Rationale:
* More frequent (128): Responsive learning, detects saturation quickly
* Default (256): Balanced - good responsiveness, minimal overhead
* Less frequent (512): Lazy learning, smaller monitoring overhead
*
* Trade-off:
* More = faster adaptation, slightly more computation
* Less = slower adaptation, minimal overhead
*
* Default: see starforth_config.h (STARFORTH_CONFIG_ADAPTIVE_CHECK_FREQUENCY_DEFAULT)
* Range: 32-1024
*
* Tuning: make ADAPTIVE_CHECK_FREQUENCY=128
*/
/* ============================================================================
* Knob #11: ADAPTIVE_GROWTH_THRESHOLD - Pattern growth rate that signals saturation
* ============================================================================
*
* When pattern diversity growth drops below this rate, window can shrink.
* Expressed as percentage (0-100).
*
* Value: 0-10 (as percentage, 0=0%, 10=10%)
* ADAPTIVE_GROWTH_THRESHOLD=1 → shrink when growth < 1% (aggressive)
* ADAPTIVE_GROWTH_THRESHOLD=2 → shrink when growth < 2% (default, balanced)
* ADAPTIVE_GROWTH_THRESHOLD=5 → shrink when growth < 5% (conservative)
*
* Rationale:
* Lower (0.5%): Very aggressive, assumes patterns found early
* Default (1%): Balanced - empirically tested, works well
* Higher (5%): Conservative, waits for stronger saturation signal
*
* Trade-off:
* Lower = eager shrinking, risk of missing late-arriving patterns
* Higher = cautious shrinking, longer time to final window size
*
* Default: see starforth_config.h (STARFORTH_CONFIG_ADAPTIVE_GROWTH_THRESHOLD_DEFAULT)
* Range: 0-10
*
* Note: Internally, this is applied as: growth_rate < (threshold / 100.0)
* E.g., ADAPTIVE_GROWTH_THRESHOLD=1 means growth_rate < 0.01
*
* Tuning: make ADAPTIVE_GROWTH_THRESHOLD=2
*/
/* ============================================================================
* Summary Table: How Knobs Interact
* ============================================================================
*
* Scenario 1: "Fast Learning, Lean Final Size"
* ADAPTIVE_SHRINK_RATE=50
* ADAPTIVE_MIN_WINDOW_SIZE=128
* ADAPTIVE_CHECK_FREQUENCY=128
* ADAPTIVE_GROWTH_THRESHOLD=0
* → Shrinks aggressively, frequently, to minimal size
* → Best for: Memory-constrained systems, simple workloads
*
* Scenario 2: "Balanced (Default)" -- see starforth_config.h for the exact
* shipped default of each knob; illustrative values below.
* ADAPTIVE_SHRINK_RATE=50
* ADAPTIVE_MIN_WINDOW_SIZE=256
* ADAPTIVE_CHECK_FREQUENCY=512
* ADAPTIVE_GROWTH_THRESHOLD=5
* → Good balance, typical FORTH programs
* → Best for: General-purpose systems
*
* Scenario 3: "Conservative, Safe"
* ADAPTIVE_SHRINK_RATE=90
* ADAPTIVE_MIN_WINDOW_SIZE=512
* ADAPTIVE_CHECK_FREQUENCY=512
* ADAPTIVE_GROWTH_THRESHOLD=5
* → Slow, cautious shrinking, large safety margin
* → Best for: Complex workloads, unpredictable patterns
