feat(v2): M4 Memory Manager + Prefetch Engine, real V1 PSRAM backend
Implements M4: memory_manager.v (arbitration/buffering/forwarding/ latency hiding/double buffering, §12) + prefetch_engine.v (double-buffered tile fetch, §13), sitting on the REAL, UNMODIFIED V1 PSRAM backend chain (int8_memory_access.v -> memory_interface.v -> psram_controller.v, per §15's explicit mandate not to touch the controller). Verified fully end-to-end with Verilator: real neural_processor (M1) fed entirely by memory_manager, computing against PSRAM-resident X/W tiles (double-buffered prefetch across up to 5 tiles) and writing its result back to PSRAM -- checked via an independent PSRAM read-back, with poison bytes around the operand regions to catch addressing errors. 3/3 jobs pass (1/3/5-tile configurations). Three real RTL bugs found and fixed during integration (full diagnostic trail in errors.log ERR-0006): prefetch_engine had no single-in-flight-request discipline, letting a queued request corrupt the bank bookkeeping of a fetch already running; the fix's own !pf_busy guard had a one-cycle blind spot (pf_busy lags pf_start by a clock) that needed an explicit !pf_start term; and a state-based mux for the shared backend port was off by one cycle, silently dropping the PSRAM result write entirely. Real synthesis: 0 CHECK problems, 851 LUT4/789 FF/108 CCU2C/0 DSP (expected, no multiplication in this module). Real place&route (via a synthesis-only timing harness, needed for the same TRELLIS_IO pin- budget reason as M2's array): Fmax 165.86 MHz, PASS at 80MHz.
