sim f3c512f2ab docs(ppc-manual): check every xenia-rs claim against Canary's source
The hand-written parts of the manual still described how the retired
xenia-rs interpreter behaved: its snapshots, Rust casts and helpers. Each of
those 490 statements is now either restated as what Canary's emitters and
x64 backend actually do (at the pinned canary_experimental commit), or
dropped where it only made sense for xenia-rs.

Checking them turned up claims that were wrong, not just outdated:

- VSCR[SAT] is never modelled in Canary (DID_SATURATE is a stub and mfvscr
  cannot see it); the pages said saturating ops set it stickily.
- Canary does not implement lswi/lswx/stswi/stswx, dcbi, mtfsb0/mtfsb1,
  vmsum*, vmhaddshs, vupkhpx/vupklpx, and most SPRs; pages described them
  as working.
- Traps evaluate TO in Canary; stvebx/stvehx/stvewx store one element, not
  16 bytes; mtmsrd writes only EE; fres/frsqrte/vrsqrtefp precision claims
  and the stfs "rounds under RN / sets FPSCR" claim contradicted the spec.
- Reservations are a 64 KiB block bitmap plus a value compare, not
  per-address tracking.

Claims that neither Canary's source nor a public spec settles are marked
unverified (NI at boot, vmaddcfp128 operand order, estimate bit-exactness).

Generated regions are untouched; re-running the generator changes nothing.

## Operation (pseudocode)
```
; No hand-written pseudocode for this instruction yet.
; The authoritative semantics are the Canary emitter snapshot under
; Implementation References; about half of Canary's emitters open
; with the PPC-style definition as a comment (`RD <- (RA) + (RB)`).
; Every side effect is also enumerated in the Register Effects and
; Status-Register Effects tables above.
```
## C Translation Example
```c
/* No hand-written C yet. Translate the Canary emitter snapshot */
/* under Implementation References; its HIR maps directly: */
/* f.LoadGPR(n) / f.StoreGPR(n, v) -> r[n] / r[n] = v */
/* f.LoadFPR / StoreFPR, f.LoadVR / StoreVR -> f[n], v[n] */
/* f.Load(ea, T), f.Store(ea, v) -> raw read / write; emitters */
/* wrap them in f.ByteSwap for the big-endian guest value */
/* f.UpdateCR(n, v) -> CR field n from v's LOW 32 BITS vs 0 */
/* f.LoadCA / f.StoreCA -> xer.CA; f.StoreSAT -> vscr.SAT */
/* i.XO.RA, i.D.DS, ... -> the bit-fields listed under Operands */
/* The Register Effects and Status-Register Effects tables above */
/* enumerate every side effect a faithful translation must emit. */

## Special Cases & Edge Conditions
- **Bitwise across the full 128 bits.** `VD = VA & VB`. Lane width is irrelevant — the AND is bit-for-bit and there is no lane boundary. Canary emits one 128-bit `And`; any split (`u8`, `u16`, `u32`, `u64`) is observationally identical.
- **No flags, no exceptions, no `VSCR` interaction.** Pure combinational op; one of the cheapest VMX instructions.
- **Common usage with compares.** Compare ops produce per-lane all-ones / all-zero masks; `vand` with the mask selects the matching lanes (clearing the rest). For "select-by-mask" with a non-zero alternative use [`vsel`](vsel.md) instead.
- **Idiom: clear lanes.** `vand VD, VD, vZero` zeroes a register; in practice [`vxor VD, VD, VD`](vxor.md) is preferred since it doesn't need a zero-vector source.
- **Aliasing legal.** All three operands may overlap.
- **VMX128 sibling (`vand128`).** Identical semantics with the extended 128-register encoding; Canary's `vand128` decodes the 7-bit register indices and shares `vand`'s body (`InstrEmit_vand_`).
## Related Instructions
- [`vandc`](vandc.md) — `VA & ~VB`; useful for clearing bits selected by a mask.
- [`vor`](vor.md), [`vxor`](vxor.md), [`vnor`](vnor.md) — the rest of the bitwise family.
- [`vsel`](vsel.md) — bit-wise select using a mask: `(VC & VB) | (~VC & VA)`. The recommended idiom whenever the "false" path is non-zero.
- [`vcmpequb`](vcmpequb.md) and other compares — natural mask producers.
