Implement Warden Phase 4: Executable Loader (partial)

Added module memory allocation and skip/copy parsing:

Executable Format Parser:
- Read 4-byte little-endian final code size
- Parse alternating skip/copy sections (2-byte length + data)
- Skip sections: advance offset without copying
- Copy sections: memcpy x86 code to allocated memory
- Boundary validation and sanity checks (max 5MB code)

Memory Allocation:
- Linux: mmap() with PROT_READ|WRITE|EXEC permissions
- Windows: VirtualAlloc() with PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE
- Proper cleanup in unload() (munmap/VirtualFree)
- Zero-initialize allocated memory

Address Relocations (STUB):
- Framework in place for delta-encoded offset parsing
- Needs real Warden module data to implement correctly
- Currently returns true to continue loading pipeline

Load Pipeline Status:
 Step 1-5: MD5, RC4, RSA, zlib, exe parsing
⚠️  Step 6: Relocations (stub - needs real module)
 Step 7-8: API binding, initialization

Progress: 4/7 phases underway (~1.5 months remaining)
Next: Phase 5 (API Binding) - kernel32.dll/user32.dll imports

Step 3: RSA Verify ✅ Implemented (OpenSSL, placeholder modulus)
Step 4: zlib Decompress ✅ Implemented (zlib library)
Step 5: Parse Exe ❌ TODO (custom skip/copy format)
Step 6: Relocations ❌ TODO (delta-encoded offsets)
Step 5: Parse Exe ✅ Implemented (custom skip/copy format, mmap/VirtualAlloc)

**Current Behavior**: Steps 1-4 succeed (validation layer complete), steps 5-8 are logged as "NOT IMPLEMENTED". Module is marked as NOT loaded (`loaded_ = false`) until execution layer is complete.
**Current Behavior**: Steps 1-6 implemented (steps 5-6 need real module data), steps 7-8 are logged as "NOT IMPLEMENTED". Module is marked as NOT loaded (`loaded_ = false`) until execution layer is complete.

### Phase 4: Executable Loader (PARTIALLY COMPLETE ⚠️)
- [ ] Parse custom skip/copy executable format
- [x] Parse custom skip/copy executable format
- Read alternating skip/copy sections (2-byte length + data)
- Allocate executable memory region
- Allocate executable memory region (mmap on Linux, VirtualAlloc on Windows)
- Copy code sections to memory
- [ ] Implement address relocation
- Sanity checks (max 5MB code size, boundary validation)
- [x] Memory allocation with execution permissions
- Linux: mmap with PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC
- Windows: VirtualAlloc with PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE
- Proper cleanup in unload() (munmap/VirtualFree)
- [ ] Implement address relocation (STUB)
- Parse delta-encoded offsets (multi-byte with high-bit continuation)
- Fix absolute references relative to module base address
- Update pointer tables
- [ ] Set memory permissions (VirtualProtect equivalent)
- ⚠️ Needs real Warden module data to implement correctly
