boot: separate BIOS from UEFI
boot/bios/ now holds the MBR, the El Torito stub and the real-mode stage 2; boot/uefi/ is empty and documented. Separate directories rather than #ifdefs, because the two share almost nothing. A BIOS loader lives in 16-bit real mode, reaches the firmware through software interrupts, and walks itself up into long mode. A UEFI loader is a 64-bit PE that the firmware has already placed in long mode with paging on, calling services through a table of function pointers. What they do share is the hand-off contract, which boot/README.md now writes down: ELF segments placed, long mode, a 24-byte-entry memory map at E820_MAP_ADDR, framebuffer geometry at VBE_INFO_ADDR. That contract is the point of documenting it now. UEFI's GetMemoryMap returns EFI_MEMORY_DESCRIPTORs, and the right move is to translate them into the entries kernel/arch/x86_64/e820.c already parses rather than teach the kernel a second format. Build output paths under $(BUILD)/boot are unchanged; only sources moved.
