debug: add green-eye GSP/uproc RISC-V VM runtime analysis tooling
Adds open-iov/debug/risc-v-gsp-rm-vm: a GDB-free instrumentation stack that boots uproc/GSP firmware in qemu-system-riscv64 and provides Frida-like hooks, breakpoints, watchpoints, memory dumps, structure decoding, snapshot diffs, recorded sessions, declarative probes, a plugin API and a Ghidra symbol/hit bridge. Verified: 25 tests green (including a live QEMU smoke test); the demo uproc boots with correct hook/leave/watch/schema/snapshot/fault evidence; the optional TCG trace plugin builds and recorded 15M trace lines in 3 s; the TU104 570.144 fwimage probe reports its first exception (load access fault at firmware vaddr 0x4009014 reading 0x2000000000000A00). Documentation: lean tool docs under debug/risc-v-gsp-rm-vm/docs/00-10, a new docs/05-operations/03-risc-v-gsp-rm-vm.md debugging document, and '# TOOL IN DEVELOPMENT - NOT READY YET!' markers in docs/README.md, the onboarding tooling table and the debugging workflows doc. Vendors qemu-plugin.h from QEMU v8.2.2 (GPL-2.0-or-later), with its license header intact, so the optional TCG plugin builds without a QEMU source tree.

+# green-eye plugins
+
+A plugin is a Python module exposing `register(ge)`:
+
+```python
+def register(ge):
+ ge.log("my plugin loaded")
+ ge.add_command("mycmd", mycmd, help="does a thing")
+ ge.hook("rpc_sum", on_enter=lambda hit: ge.log(f"sum a0={hit.arg(0):#x}"))
+```
+
+`ge` provides:
+* `session`, `memory`, `symbols`, `recorder` — the live objects;
+* `hook(target, on_enter=, on_leave=)` / `watch(target, size=, kind=, callback=)`;
+* `on_event(kind, callback)` — react to every stop of a kind;
+* `add_command(name, fn, help=)` — new REPL commands (`fn(session, args) -> int`);
+* `log(message, **fields)` — recorded plugin notes.
+
+Discovery: `--plugin PATH` (file or directory), then `GREENEYE_PLUGINS`
+(colon-separated), then the bundled `plugins/` directory. A plugin that raises
+is recorded as `plugin_error` and never breaks the session.
+
+Types of plugins that fit green-eye:
+1. **Runtime RE tools** — new watchpoint strategies, coverage collectors,
+ structure probes, heap/allocator graphs.
+2. **Harnesses** — stimulus drivers that poke mailboxes/rings and assert on
+ recorded events.
+3. **Virtualization-environment updates** — replay/record wrappers, QEMU
+ argument tweaks, device-model shims.
+4. **AI/harness integration** — export sessions to analysis services;
+ **MCP servers are planned as a plugin** (see `docs/08-ROADMAP.md`), not
+ part of v0.1.
+
+The example plugin is `example_plugin.py`.
