Stage 3 follow-on: message-arrival eligibility hook + trampoline-blind switch-storm fix (FABRIC-3.md §XXVIII.2)

Implements the message-arrival eligibility signal FABRIC-3.md §XXVIII.1 left
open (has_work per-slot flag, set via new SWITCH-MARK-WORK primitive from
MSG-SEND) so an idle VM never becomes a switch target purely by waiting out
the readiness threshold.

Also root-causes and fixes a second, independent switch-storm: the tick's
"who is current" check used vm_log_attributed_vm(), which can't see a VM
parked in switch.c's own raw trampoline. Replaced with a dedicated
g_switch_current_vm tracked by the switch mechanism itself, and moved
target-slot eligibility reset to the switch decision point instead of
relying on ISR polling to observe a window that can be only a few
instructions wide.

Verified live on all 3 architectures: clean boot to zuse@Hera] ok>, live
cross-VM message dispatch, and (since a quiet log looks identical to a
livelocked storm once the DoE probe is gone) confirmed genuine REPL
liveness via QMP send-key + screendump on aarch64/riscv64, not log
inspection alone.
