raven-uxn now has an x86-64 assembly backend (yay!)

and it's about 2x faster (yay!!)

and the first draft was written by Claude (booo!)

and then I rewrote most of it, which made it even faster (yay!)

and introduced a memory corruption bug (booo?)

which Claude is better at debugging than I am (.......?)
