Split (msg machine) into (msg machine core) and (msg machine qemu).

Today all of init/start/stop lives in a single msg/machine.scm, with QEMU argv inlined for both arm64 and x86_64. This split is the first step of the backend migration so core can later dispatch to qemu or avf.

Foundation issue for this project; no code change has landed yet.

Phase 0 of the libkrun cutover: make QEMU a real backend. Gate: start/stop/shell still work on QEMU.
