AI bb09de6a6d Implement driver architecture with linker-section registration (AI)
- Created driver framework with probe/init lifecycle. Drivers register via
  REGISTER_DRIVER macro which places pointers in a .drivers linker section.
- During boot, init_drivers() iterates the section, probes each driver
  (checking if hardware is present), and initializes those that respond OK.
- Added .drivers section to linker.ld with __drivers_start/__drivers_end
  symbols for iteration.
- Also added .rodata.* pattern to the .rodata section for string literals
  placed in sub-sections by the compiler.
- No drivers are registered yet; the VGA driver will be the first.

Tested: boots cleanly with driver scan completing (0 registered, 0 loaded).

/**
* @file driver.h
* @brief Kernel driver architecture.
*
* Provides a simple framework for registering and initializing kernel drivers.
* Each driver provides a probe function that returns whether it should load,
* and an init function that performs the actual initialization.
*
* Drivers are registered at compile time using the REGISTER_DRIVER macro,
* which places driver descriptors in a special linker section. The kernel
* iterates over all registered drivers during boot.
