Fixes #48.

The RV64 W-form divisions in ExecuteM64.v used full 64-bit operands, disagreeing with hardware when bits above bit 31 were live. This truncates operands with s32 or u32 before division and guard evaluation.

The source fix is mit-plv/riscv-semantics#36. This regenerates ExecuteM64.v with make convert and updates deps/riscv-semantics; deps/hs-to-coq is unchanged. Update the pin after that PR merges.

Verification:

The spec compiles with Rocq 9.2 + coqutil. vm_compute against Words64Naive matches every row in #48 plus signed-overflow and zero-divisor cases. The Haskell fix matches an independent reference in 1296 randomized cross-checks across all four operations.

Regenerate ExecuteM64.v from riscv-semantics after fixing the RV64
W-form divisions there: they must divide the lower 32 bits of each
operand (signed for divw/remw, unsigned for divuw/remuw) and sign-extend
the 32-bit result, rather than dividing the full 64-bit registers. See
mit-plv/riscv-semantics#36 for the root cause and verification. Fixes mit-plv#48.

Bumps deps/riscv-semantics to the riscv-semantics PR head; this pin
should be updated to the upstream commit once that PR merges. Regenerated
with the pinned hs-to-coq (deps/hs-to-coq unchanged). The regenerated
spec compiles, and the div/rem data paths were checked to reproduce the
hardware values from the issue's divergence table.

Thanks Jason for sharing the Fable log with me (on different channel). Looking at it, I believe the commit hash mismatch has the following reason:

The PR to riscv-semantics is not the version that was used to create valid Rocq code. The PR to riscv-semantics was made before hs-to-coq was installed, and then hs-to-coq was run, creating Rocq code that didn't typecheck (because of brittle edit rules in the .edit files, my bad). Claude's fix was to change the haskell and rerun hs-to-coq, but the additional change to Haskell (around "[212] assistant", replacing s32 (2^31) by -2147483648), was committed on Jason's local machine, but not pushed to the PR.

I initially was very impressed by what Fable can do but now if it makes such an obvious overall-orchestration mistake I am less sure if I should trust what it did for a repo where spec-level code quality is required.

It is a very capable model, but you should absolutely not blindly trust it to get things right, and should absolutely review spec-level code, especially when there's no CI testing the changes.

Regenerated from riscv-semantics with a named Utility constant in
place of the bare -2147483648 literals; minSigned32 is defined in
Utility.v's Derived section as negate (ZToReg 2147483648), the exact
expression the generated code previously inlined.

Per review: Utility.v is maintained by hand, so the exponent notation
is fine here (Z_scope is open); only the hs-to-coq-converted modules
needed the decimal literal. The regenerated files are unchanged.
