pureboot: artifact roles, wrong-chip refusal, and misplaced-loader re-homing

The README's deployment section now says what each build artifact is for:
the .hex is the programmer artifact (self-addressed into the top slot),
the .bin the self-update image — bare slot bytes a programmer would put
at address 0, where a boot-sectioned mega cannot even heal itself (SPM
only runs from the boot section) but a patched-vector chip runs the
position-independent copy and re-homes a build through the ordinary
--update-loader flow: the staging install and the word-0 redirect both
execute outside page 0's slot, so the running-slot guard never blocks it.
pbrehome.py is the acceptance test (misplaced at 0, guard intact,
re-home, app flash over the stale copy, banner); the staging slot is the
one position that cannot re-home itself, documented. The preflight's
wrong-chip refusal and loader_image's handling of padded images (peeled
to the slot content by the embedded base) are documented and the padded
case pinned in the planner.
