AI 3d5fb4c267 Add CPIO initial ramdisk with build infrastructure and parser (AI)
Build system changes:
- scripts/gen_initrd.sh packs all files from apps/ into a newc-format
  CPIO archive at build/isodir/boot/initrd.cpio.
- CMakeLists.txt adds 'initrd' target as ISO dependency. GRUB loads the
  archive as a Multiboot2 module via 'module2 /boot/initrd.cpio'.
- apps/README added as placeholder file for initial ramdisk content.

Kernel changes:
- kernel.c scans Multiboot2 tags for MULTIBOOT_TAG_TYPE_MODULE to find
  the initrd's physical address range, then passes it to cpio_init().
- cpio.c/h implements a parser for the SVR4/newc CPIO format:
  - cpio_init(): lists archive contents on startup
  - cpio_find(): look up a file by name (handles ./ prefix)
  - cpio_next(): iterate through all entries
  - cpio_count(): count files in archive
- The initrd lives in identity-mapped physical memory, so no additional
  mapping is needed to access it.

Verified in QEMU: GRUB loads the module at 0x0014A000, CPIO parser
finds the README file (38 bytes). All existing functionality (Ring 3
processes, syscalls) continues to work.
