Add SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing) support

Implements the core SMP infrastructure from FreeRTOS v11.0.0+, enabling
multi-core support with the `smp` Cargo feature.

Kernel changes (src/kernel/tasks.rs):
- TCB extended with SMP fields: xTaskRunState, uxCoreAffinityMask, uxTaskAttributes
- Global pxCurrentTCB replaced with pxCurrentTCBs[configNUMBER_OF_CORES] array
- Added accessor functions: prvGetCurrentTaskTCB(), prvSetCurrentTaskTCB(),
  prvGetCurrentTaskTCBForCore(), prvSetCurrentTaskTCBForCore()
- Updated 20+ functions to use accessors instead of direct pxCurrentTCB access
- Added tskNO_AFFINITY constant for core-affinity feature

Port layer (src/port/):
- mod.rs: Added SMP port function stubs (portGET_CORE_ID, portYIELD_CORE,
  portGET_TASK_LOCK, portRELEASE_TASK_LOCK, etc.)
- cortex_a9.rs: Added SMP-aware assembly that reads MPIDR register for core ID
  and indexes into pxCurrentTCBs array during context save/restore

Configuration:
- Cargo.toml: Added `smp` and `core-affinity` feature flags
- config.rs: Added conditional configNUMBER_OF_CORES (1 for non-SMP, 2 for SMP)
- config.rs: Added configUSE_CORE_AFFINITY conditional

Demo (demo/cortex-a9/):
- Added `smp` feature flag
- Added get_core_id() and println_core() for core ID tracking
- Secondary cores wait for scheduler start in SMP mode
- Tasks print their executing core ID

Tested on QEMU vexpress-a9 with -smp 2:
- Both cores recognized (Core 1 waits, Core 0 initializes)
- Tasks execute correctly with SMP data structures
- Non-SMP builds unaffected (no overhead)

Future work for full multi-core execution:
- Secondary core wake-up via SEV/IPI after scheduler starts
- Multiple idle tasks (one per core)
- portYIELD_CORE() implementation using GIC SGI
- Per-core spinlocks (currently uses global critical sections)
