Add VMIdentity type, relocate homeblocks_sig_t off devblock 0

Phase A of the identity pipeline (FABRIC-3.md §F.2/§F.16, §F.13):

- New include/starkernel/vm_identity.h: VMIdentity{owner_pubkey[32],
  installed, acl_caps}, its own header per the project's "give real-shaped
  data its own header" convention (VMUuid's own precedent), embedded by
  value on struct VM. acl_caps is an independent capability bitmask, not
  an ordered privilege tier (decided 2026-08-28) -- Zuse isn't a
  structurally special VM, her identity just has every bit set
  (VM_IDENTITY_CAP_ALL). No individual capability bits assigned yet,
  deliberate slack matching blk_meta_t's own acl_reserved precedent --
  real bits get names once the operation they gate (BINDSTEP, MINT, ...)
  actually gets built.

- Applied the devblock-1 relocation decided in §F.13: new
  HOMEBLOCKS_SIG_START_FBLOCK constant (homeblocks_sig.h), repl.c's
  homeblocks_sig_check() call site updated from the literal 0. Also
  applied the still-owed blockmap_offset/blockmap_devblocks ->
  identity_src_offset/identity_src_devblocks rename decided in §F.6 (no
  other code referenced the old names). Updated the header's own stale
  GPT-relative doc comments to match -- GPT was dropped permanently, this
  location is final, not an interim stand-in.

Verified live on all three architectures: clean compile, clean boot to
ok>, Hermes/Artemis both confirmed live with no KILL (no regression from
last session's session-less fix). One pre-existing, unrelated anomaly
observed consistently on all three arches, not caused by this change (no
code touched here intersects Zuse's own fence-write path): "Zuse: minted
but fence write FAILED (not persistent)" -- flagged for its own
investigation, not chased here.

/**
* vm_identity.h - Per-VM owner identity + ACL capabilities (FABRIC-3.md
* §F.2/§F.16, decided 2026-08-27/28)
*
* Holds only what a VM needs to prove *who owns it* and *what that owner
* is allowed to do* -- never a private key. A regular VM's lock never
* signs anything itself, so no seed/private material belongs here at all
* (unlike Zuse's own zuse_cert_seed/zuse_cert_pubkey pair, which does need
* one because she actively signs). Deliberately its own header rather
* than inline fields on struct VM, mirroring VMUuid's own precedent
* (vm_uuid.h) -- standing instruction: give real-shaped data its own
* header and integrate as a field, don't grow struct VM ad hoc.
*
* acl_caps is a capability bitmask, not an ordered privilege tier
* (decided 2026-08-28) -- independent bits, not a nested hierarchy. Zuse
* is not a structurally special VM: her identity just has every bit set.
* No bit values are assigned yet -- deliberate slack, per this project's
* "flexibility until we understand the recipe" precedent (see
* blk_meta_t's own acl_reserved bytes, FABRIC-3.md §F.4) -- real bits get
* names only once the operation they gate actually gets built (BINDSTEP,
* MINT, ...), not speculatively here.
