re: solve the runtime Unit (craft/vessel) struct from live guest memory

Craft stats were the last parked Route-B target: the Hangar exposes only a
weight class, and in menus the flight-model object is not instantiated at all.
It is instantiated in-mission, so this reads it there.

The definition class is discovered rather than assumed (unit_discover.py):
scanning for pointers to the disc ID strings and tallying the word behind each
pointer site picks out vtable 0x820af844 -- one object per unit ID, name-record
pointer at +0x04, string at +0x10, exactly the Weapon shape. The neighbouring
class 0x820af030 is the spawned entity, not the definition; the two are told
apart by one-object-per-ID and by 14/14 objects being byte-identical across two
snapshots 12 minutes and one firefight apart.

22 fields bind with zero contradictions on >=3 distinct values. Beyond that,
the Maneuver sub-record turns out to be laid out in schema declaration order,
4 bytes per field, base 0x9c with a two-slot gap after AA_Roll_Min -- 29
independently solved anchors fit two exact bases with no conflicts. That rule
pins five fields NO unit table ever values (PitchDragFactor, RollDragFactor,
DragFactorThreshold, ArterBurner_Acc, DecPitchFactor); PitchDrag == RollDrag ==
the disc's YawDrag on 18/18 units corroborates the interpolation.

Angles are float32 radians at runtime and degrees on disc.

Coverage is 18 of 110 units: unlike weapons, unit definitions are instantiated
per stage, so it grows by visiting missions. The AI-behaviour tail of Maneuver
is explicitly NOT resolved and marked tentative in the CSV.

Captured from Xenia Canary (BASIC CONTROLS tutorial + Stage 02 from save 01).

"""Solve the runtime `Unit` (craft/vessel definition) struct layout against the
disc's `unit\\UN_*.tbl` records, then read the fields the disc leaves defaulted.
Same method as weapon_runtime.py, with two differences forced by the data:
* the runtime class is *discovered*, not assumed — see unit_discover.py; the
definition objects carry vtable 0x820af844 and hold a pointer to their name
record at +0x04 (string at name+0x10), exactly like `Weapon`;
* a unit `.tbl` is one object made of several sub-records (Generic, Maneuver,
Shield, Explosion, Mass, Effect, SE, Turret_*), all flattened into ONE
runtime object, so the disc side is merged per unit ID.
Only the *definition* objects are used. The other class found in RAM
(0x820af030) is the spawned-entity instance — same ID string, live state, not
definition data — and is deliberately ignored.
Usage: unit_runtime.py <tokens.txt> <snapshot...> (snapshots are unioned)
