pureboot 6: a build-time OSCCAL trim, applied ahead of every reset path

The RC-oscillator answer's device half (dev/tasks.md in libavr): OSCCAL joins
pureboot_add_loader() as one optional byte, written at the top of run() before
the WDRF bail so the watchdog hand-over inherits the corrected clock too.
Orthogonal to the backend — an autobaud build may carry it purely for the
application. No value, no code: the stock image differs from v5 in exactly
the version's two bytes (the stamp and the 'b' immediate).

Measured: +6 B where OSCCAL takes sts (328P, 404→410), +4 B in low I/O
(t85, 402→406); the tightest image in the space (1284 autobaud on USART
pins, 504) carries the sts form at 510 of 512. New gates: the OSCCAL size
points on every chip, the wire-observed trim byte on both addressing
classes (test/pbosccal.py, red-green), and the autobaud unit pinned to
ram_start (test/check_unit.cmake, red-green) — the address --info's
measured-clock read is about to rely on.

"""The build-time OSCCAL trim, observed through the wire: a loader built with
the OSCCAL axis holds the trim register at the built byte from its first
prompt on — the write sits at the top of run(), ahead of the WDRF bail, so
every path out of reset runs on the corrected clock. simavr's clock does not
follow OSCCAL, which is what makes the value assertable at all: the register
is plain state there, and the peek must return exactly what the build
declared rather than whatever the oscillator needed.
