583c0abbd2 Retire the byte-for-byte fidelity constraint, and fix what it was blocking
The Go reference is deprecated and will not be updated, so the two projects
are no longer required to match. Recorded as TODO.md section 0.1, first thing
in the file, because it silently reverses the premise several later sections
were written on -- an agent reading section 6 without it will park work that
is no longer blocked.

Section 6 item 16 was the item waiting on exactly this and is now fixed: the
keyword tables are searched on the base name with any type suffix stripped, so
PRINT$, LEN# and GOTO% are refused as variable names and the reference's own
diagnostic stops being dead code. It cost the one golden case predicted, and
the cost was nothing -- renaming a variable in strreverse.bas left its expected
output byte-for-byte unchanged.

AKBASIC_KNOWN_FAILING_TESTS is empty as a result and known_reference_defects.c
is gone. Section 6 items 1-9 and 11 are reopened as an ordinary defect list.

eb5374d212 Check the reference corpus in, so the build stops needing the Go submodule
All 41 .bas/.txt pairs copied byte for byte from basicinterpreter@d76162c into
tests/reference/, plus the Commodore font into assets/fonts/ -- the two things
that tied the build to deps/basicinterpret. Both were verified cmp-identical
to the submodule copies.

This reverses a decision that was deliberate and correct at the time: the
corpus was driven in place because copying a submodule's corpus guarantees
drift. Overruled on purpose -- the Go dependency is being deprecated, and a
build that cannot run its acceptance suite without cloning the implementation
it replaced is not finished. tests/reference/README.md records what the drift
now costs and that those expectations are never edited.

Checked rather than assumed: both configurations configure, build and pass
from scratch with deps/basicinterpret moved out of the tree entirely.

The submodule is kept as the behavioural spec, which is a real use. The font
came with an open licence question; assets/fonts/PROVENANCE.md states it.
