feat(binary): vendor Ghidra 12.1 decompiler + validate P-Code lifting (Phase 0-1)
Foundation for replacing fold's dead/abstract binary encoder with a real
SSA P-Code frontend. Verified root-cause gap: serializeBinaryIR() emits only
data-discovery nodes (sections/strings/imports/exports); the control-flow
BinaryExprKind values (BasicBlock/CallSite/...) are never constructed, so the
Z3-BB encoder's encodable filter is always empty and encodeBinaryBBs never
runs — hence 0 binary Z3 findings. The P-Code pipeline supersedes that path.

Phase 0 — docs/internal/ghidra-pcode-integration-research.md: P-Code opcode
core, the decompiler C++ embedding API (LoadImage/SleighArchitecture/Funcdata),
the CORE+DECCORE+SLEIGH source sets, no-bison finding, and pypcode as build
reference.

Phase 1 — vendored Ghidra decompiler at pinned commit (Ghidra_12.1_build,
7e89d94e34...) under third_party/ghidra-decompiler/ (cpp + AArch64 specs +
Apache-2.0 LICENSE + VENDOR.md + .gitignore for build artifacts). Validated by
hand on this clang-21/macOS toolchain:
  - full SSA engine (CORE+DECCORE+SLEIGH, 80 files incl. heritage/funcdata/
    action) compiles clean, -std=c++11 -O2, NO BFD, NO bison (generated
    parsers are committed upstream; ruleparse isn't in the lib set);
  - sleigh compiler builds; AArch64 .slaspec -> .sla compiles;
  - tools/pcode_dump.cpp (custom LoadImage, no BFD) lifts the real arm64
    sym._div_by_zero_direct to correct P-Code: `mov w9,#0 -> COPY(const 0)`,
    `sdiv -> INT_SDIV(w8,w9)` — divisor zero-ness explicit in the data flow,
    so the Phase-3 encoder proves div-by-zero trivially, multi-arch.

Not yet meson-wired (next step) and no fold-side IR/encoder yet (Phase 2-3);
this commit is the validated vendor + smoke tool.

/// A \e cast operation in C or other languages masks a variety of possible low-level conversions,
/// such as extensions, truncations, integer to floating-point, etc. On top of this, languages allow
/// many of these types of operations to be \e implied in the source code, with no explicit token
/// representing the conversion. Conversions happen automatically for things like \e integer \e promotion,
/// between different sizes (of integers), and between signed and unsigned data-type variants.
///
/// This class is the API for making four kinds of decisions:
/// - Do we need a cast operator for a given assignment
/// - Does the given conversion operation need to be represented as a cast
/// - Does the given extension or comparison match with the expected level of integer promotion
/// - What data-type is produced by a particular integer arithmetic operation
