marfrit 00d655187a benchmark/: three-way RE-tool comparison + first real C-lift ...

Three small functions extracted from the v1.19 conservative blob with
ground-truth C and per-tool (Ghidra / retdec / decomp.me) docs:
  01_memset        — byte memset, 28 B
  02_memcpy32      — word-aligned memcpy, 36 B
  03_magic_memset  — magic check + tail-call to memset, 40 B
  04_train_phy_block — first real poll-site function (104 B, 26 insts),
                       contains poll sites 12-15

Results in RESULTS.md:
  - Ghidra: A on all four. Auto-decompile is close to final.
  - retdec: A on #3, F on #1 and #2 (no register-arg inference on raw),
    C on #4 (mistakes & 0xF0000000 for < 0x10000000).

GRIND_LOG.md (in 04_train_phy_block/) records the matching-decomp
iteration: 116-byte candidate.c at -Os vs vendor 104 bytes = 89.7%
size match on first real iteration. Remaining gap is GCC's choice of
`cmp w, w_const; b.ls` over vendor's `tst w, #imm; b.eq` for the
mask tests.

gdb_debug/ holds a native-aarch64 GDB single-stepper for the three
benchmark functions — boltzmann smoke test passed (memset:
buf[10] 0x00→0xab).
