Implement paging subsystem with identity mapping and kernel heap (AI)

Browse Source 
- Created two-level x86 paging (page directory + page tables) with 4 KiB pages.
- Identity maps all detected physical memory in two phases:
  1) Static: first 16 MiB using 4 BSS-allocated page tables (avoids
     chicken-and-egg with PMM bitmap in BSS).
  2) Dynamic: memory above 16 MiB using PMM-allocated page tables,
     created before paging is enabled so physical addresses still work.
- Provides kernel heap at 0xD0000000–0xF0000000 for virtual page allocation.
- API: paging_map_page, paging_unmap_page, paging_alloc_page, paging_free_page,
  paging_get_physical.
- Added pmm_get_memory_size() to expose detected RAM for paging init.
- Kernel tests paging by allocating a virtual page, writing 0xDEADBEEF, and
  reading it back, then freeing it.
- Added documentation in docs/paging.md.

Tested: boots and passes paging test with both 4 MiB and 128 MiB RAM in QEMU.

These zones describe the region of memory that memory should be allocated in. If it is not possible to allocate in that region (because it is full, or has 0 capacity to begin with), it should fallback to another zone.
