chore: the editor config describes this repository, in ASCII

.clangd said the repository rides as a submodule in its consumers, which none
does, and removed three codegen flags only pureboot's loaders carry; its em
dashes are ASCII now. The settings.json comment built on the same premise goes,
and the oracle README states the variant rather than who chose it.
