AUDIT-032: dedicated audio worker thread per client (Plan B)

Replaces APUBUG-PRODUCER-001's random-victim-hijack audio injection
with a dedicated per-client guest worker thread, mirroring xenia-canary's
apu/audio_system.cc:84-159 WorkerThreadMain pattern in xenia-rs's
threading model. Audio callback ticker is now safe to enable by default.

## What changed

- xenia-kernel/src/xaudio.rs: new XAudioState fields worker_handles +
  worker_refs (one slot per of XAUDIO_MAX_CLIENTS=8). Synthetic
  park-handle helper (0xF000_0000 | client_idx) — outside the normal
  alloc range so wake_eligible_waiters never finds it; the only
  legitimate state-flip is via try_inject_audio_callback.
- xenia-kernel/src/exports.rs: xaudio_register_render_driver spawns a
  64KB-stack guest thread (create_suspended=true) via
  state.scheduler.spawn after registration succeeds. Immediately flips
  the spawned thread's state from Blocked(Suspended) to
  Blocked(WaitAny[synthetic]) so it's parked but not woken. Stores the
  kernel handle so find_by_handle resolves a fresh ThreadRef after slot
  compaction. Failure paths log + leave xaudio.worker_refs[i] = None,
  in which case the ticker drops fires (no random-victim fallback).
- xenia-app/src/main.rs: try_inject_audio_callback resolves the worker
  via worker_handles[index] instead of scanning runqueues for a Ready
  or Blocked victim. The PC+r3 injection and SavedCallbackCtx capture
  are unchanged; the existing LR_HALT restore path re-blocks the
  worker on its synthetic handle for the next tick. Flag handling
  reworked: --xaudio-tick / XENIA_XAUDIO_TICK now act as explicit
  override (truthy = force on, falsey = force off, absent = use the
  KernelState default).
- xenia-kernel/src/state.rs: xaudio_tick_enabled default flipped from
  false to true. Pre-fix it was off because the random-victim hijack
  regressed swaps=2->1; with the dedicated worker that whole class of
  regression is gone.

## Cascade verification at -n 500M (audit-runs/audit-048-audio-host-pump/)

Pre-fix baseline: audit-runs/audit-047-gamma-wedges/ours-end-state.log.

| Dim | Predicted (AUDIT-032)               | Observed                        |
|-----|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------|
| A   | tid=9 leaves Blocked[0x828A3254]    | Ready @ pc=0x824d1404           |
| B   | tid=10 leaves Blocked[0x828A3230]   | Ready @ same pc/lr              |
| C   | XAudioSubmitRenderDriverFrame > 0   | Mixer setup path executed       |
| D   | KeReleaseSemaphore 0 -> non-zero    | 0 -> 1; xaudio.callback.delivered=1 |

Bonus: audit-042's tid=6 worker pair on 0x10A0+0x10A4 also went
Blocked->Ready as a downstream effect.

Boot trajectory shifted significantly: NtWaitForSingleObjectEx
1,489,791 -> 30; NtSetEvent 3,334 -> 68; new exports firing
(StfsCreateDevice, ObCreateSymbolicLink, XamContentCreateEnumerator,
XamEnumerate, XamTaskSchedule, ExCreateThread x10, KeSetAffinityThread x7,
NtCreateSemaphore x4, NtWaitForMultipleObjectsEx x94, NtDuplicateObject x14,
XeCryptSha, XeKeysConsolePrivateKeySign). The system left the
audio-wait busy loop and entered the savegame/content/crypto init phase.

swaps regressed 2 -> 1 (degenerate splash repeat lost; main thread now
advances past splash entirely, blocked on a different handle). draws
unchanged at 0 — expected per AUDIT-032 (audio gate != renderer gate).

## Tests + scope

- cargo build --release succeeds, no new warnings.
- cargo test -p xenia-kernel --lib: 127/127 pass (incl. xaudio).
- cargo test -p xenia-app --lib: 5/5 non-ignored pass.
- Lockstep goldens (sylpheed_n2m / sylpheed_n50m) WILL drift on this
  fix and need re-baselining as a follow-up commit.
