docs: define the status markers, and fix six mislabelled or superseded entries
An audit of BACKLOG.md turned up a class of error with a single root cause: the README defines only the CONFIRMED/PROBABLE/HYPOTHESIS confidence scale, while the pages actually use a second vocabulary -- and 🔴 appears 98 times without ever being defined. It gets used for two different things, "refuted" and "blocked", and three entries slid from one into the other. README now defines ✅/🟡/❔/🔴/❌/🚧 and states the rule the corpus was missing: 🔴 never means "we have not run it yet". That is ❔ or 🚧. Its blocked sense is only for a real limit of the box -- no push credentials, no hardware Vulkan, a decision only the user can make -- and since the box can run the emulator, script input, screenshot and read guest memory, "needs a run" is never blocked. I made exactly this mistake on the world-unit item earlier today, which is what prompted looking for others. Fixed in BACKLOG.md: * the elimination test, marked 🔴 UNRUN and in fact run and refuted nine lines further down; * the frozen capture, marked 🔴 STILL UNRUN and in fact taken eleven lines down -- 🔴 wrong twice, since "the freeze did not happen this run" is a scheduling outcome and not a refutation; * a 🚧 STILL UNRUN item whose stated blocker (the boot-nav bug) is fixed; * the objective-counter heading, which asserts 0xbdb59668 as the answer while its own first body line refutes that address -- retitled to say what is actually solved, the method; * the paint-order "third measured permutation" question, answered inside its own entry by a third, fourth and fifth screen; * the UTF-16 endianness question -- resolved, and it is not a stale comment: localization.rs both documents LE and decodes with u16::from_le_bytes, so it is a code bug worth filing. Also fixes the corpus's only dangling link (INDEX.md pointed at structures/idxd-unnamed-keys.md, never written).
