rsnix v0.5.3: fix real-hardware scroll wedge — per-word display push
The real-hardware crash (2 lines of white + freeze, no CPU exception even with the 0.5.2 fault dumps) pointed away from a fault and at a stall: the scroll's full-frame push used one 1.92 MB rep-movsb to the framebuffer. On QEMU the framebuffer is RAM, so it flies; on a real GPU the framebuffer is uncached MMIO and the CPU's fast-string burst path can stall forever — the shell wedges mid-instruction, the cursor task's own writes wedge too, no exception fires (MMIO writes don't fault), and the screen shows the torn partial push (the white bands). The boot-time clear() always worked on the same hardware and uses per-word volatile stores, so the scroll push now uses the identical pattern: shadow reads (cached RAM, cheap) + individually-posted display stores. Interruptible between stores, never a bulk burst, and functionally identical on QEMU (all 5 suites re-pass). Also converts the no-shadow fallback shift to the same per-word pattern. CONTEXT.md updated (scroll-cost note + versioning).
