* WIP pacman hardware platform
* Add Pac-Man game presets: Chase, Climber, Hello, Music, Siege, Solarian, and common utilities
* Remove pacman_rom.c and maze.c from branch
Keep these as local-only demos; they are not ready to merge.
* Fix Pac-Man hardware map to match real PCB / MAME
Treat 0x4800-0x4BFF as open bus and map 1KB work RAM at 0x4C00, use
maskable IM2 VBLANK only, and move the shared CRT/linker layout onto that
map so demos and Namco soft sound regs stop colliding.
- Updated chase_gfx.h to include additional tile and sprite definitions, increasing the number of tiles and sprites.

- Added gfxtest_gfx.h and gfxtest.c for a graphics smoke test, demonstrating background tiles and sprite functionality.
- Implemented pcegfx.h, pcegfx.c, and pcegfx_tia.s for low-level graphics handling, including VRAM management and sprite updates.
- Created perftest.c to benchmark graphics performance, isolating various workloads and measuring efficiency.
- Ensured compatibility with the PC Engine's graphics capabilities and optimized for performance during gameplay.
Avoid ':' in filenames by stripping 'remote:'
file extension prefix:
- Rename `skeleton.remote:llvm-mos`
to `skeleton.llvm-mos`, which allow Windows
users to once again checkout the repo.
- Update `getSkeletonFile` to strip 'remote:'.
- Remove note requiring alignment to $0803 or $xx00
- Replace confusingly used ORIGIN label with PGM_START
- Minor cleanup & make samples consistent with each other
