feat(files+gb): file browser launches .gb via GameBoy, preserve mDNS

lvgl-module/symbols.c:
- canvas: full LVGL9 docs API (get_buf, get_image, get_px, get_draw_buf,
  set_palette, copy_buf, init_layer, finish_layer, buf_size) – was only 5 symbols
- draw_buf: create/destroy/init/dup/copy/goto/clear/width_to_stride/align/palette/from_image/to_image
- cache: lv_draw_buf_invalidate_cache, flush_cache, lv_image_cache_drop – critical bugfix for
  GameBoy (and any direct framebuffer) where raw buf mutated but image cache stale -> FPS but no image.
- draw layer helpers, image scale/rotation/pivot/offset, transform scales for GB 2x/3x integer scaling

Reason blank screen: lv_canvas in LVGL9 is lv_image backed by draw_buf. Mutating raw pointer
without lv_image_cache_drop + invalidate_cache leaves stale texture. Timer was calling
lv_obj_invalidate only. Now exports needed symbols and app fixed to drop cache each frame.

mDNS (preserve from local WIP, sits on top of 60764979 'kidsOS-XXXX' mdns init):
- Tactility/network/Mdns.h/cpp: C++ browse + resolveHostname wrappers around esp-idf mdns 1.3.2
  (PTR query, txt records, address extraction, POSIX stub)
- TactilityC/tt_mdns.h/cpp: C copy-based API for ELF apps (TT_MDNS_MAX_RESULTS 32,
  capped addresses/txt, hostname->IP resolve)
- TactilityC/tt_init.cpp: export tt_mdns_is_available / browse / resolve_hostname symbols

Test plan:
- firmware build for es3c28p --dev
- release-sdk-current.py
- GameBoy app build against new SDK (0 missing symbols expected)
- push both branches to personal gitea

+ * Provides synchronous mDNS browsing (PTR queries) and hostname resolution
+ * on top of the ESP-IDF mdns component. The API is intentionally C-only,
+ * string-copy based, to avoid complex lifetime issues across ELF boundaries.
+ *
+ * Implementation lives in Tactility (tt::network::mdns) and is exported via
+ * module symbols. TactilityC provides thin wrappers + symbol export.
+ *
+ * WiFi must be connected for mDNS queries to return results.
