feat(memory): retain aligned Thumb BIOS prefetch words

Browse source 
Snapshot the full word at (executing PC+4)&~3 for Thumb BIOS execution, using strict image reads and incoming instruction state. Keep ARM PC+8 open bus separate and unchanged. Commit snapshots only after successful steps; preserve diagnostic behavior for unavailable lookahead.

Add original regression coverage for both code alignments, load widths and lanes, signed and unaligned values, processor modes, sequential fetches, ARM/Thumb transitions, SWI, RAM-backed POP exits, BIOS boundaries, failure retention, and nominal device progression. Record source evidence and explicit pipeline/hardware-validation limits.

Darwin arm64 validation: 878 workspace tests and 809 core/demo tests in each of debug and release; 39 Python tests; native ROM window tests in both profiles; ten window/graphics smoke modes; fmt, clippy, and rustdoc. Public ARM, Thumb, memory, and BIOS reports match prior passing reports and match between profiles. No physical-hardware validation claimed.
