Hojun-Cho 2c33228b7e ww: rename toolchain to w-prefix + hare-style build/run/test driver
Plan 9-style w-prefix on the per-arch tools, disambiguating from the
real Plan 9 6c/6a/6l in ref/plan9front/:

    cmd/wwc/      → cmd/wcc/        libwwc.a → libwcc.a
    cmd/6{c,a,l}  → cmd/w6{c,a,l}   binary names too
    test/wwc/     → test/wcc/       6 test files w/ w6 prefix
    selfhost/cmd  mirror in lockstep
    bootstrap/amd64/{w6c,w6a,w6l}   snapshot binaries (gitignored)
    WW_6{C,A,L}   → WW_W6{C,A,L}    env-var overrides

Plan 9 source-tree refs ("Plan 9 6c shape", ref/plan9front/, etc.)
preserved. Hare-style driver, both C and ww sides:

    ww test [path]   discover *_test.ww in a directory module, run
                     each; single-file mode for `ww test foo.ww`
    Module-by-name   `ww build foo` resolves to foo.ww or foo/foo.ww
                     via search path (cwd : -I dirs : $WW_LIB)
    Default-to-cwd   `ww build` / `ww test` build the cwd module
    Run pass-through `ww run path arg1 arg2` reaches the program

lib/os: getcwd (79) and getdents64 (217) syscalls power `.` resolution
and directory enumeration on the ww side.

Makefile: wwstage tool deps now include lib/os/os.ww (+ lib/strconv
for wwdump_ww) so lib/* edits force their rebuild instead of leaving
stale binaries — surfaced when test 995 first failed against a stale
w6c_ww built before the lib/os additions.

Test 993 byte-identical parity gate (C-side ww vs ww-side ww_ww on a
build corpus) stays green; all 19 tests pass.

# bootstrap/
Stage-0 binaries for cold-start builds without `cc`. One subdirectory
per supported architecture; each holds four statically-linked ELF
executables that match the wwstage layout:
bootstrap/amd64/
ww driver, equivalent to out/bin/ww_ww
w6c compiler, out/bin/w6c_ww
w6a assembler, out/bin/w6a_ww
w6l linker, out/bin/w6l_ww
The binaries are intentionally **gitignored** until the compiler stops
churning enough to make the trust surface stable — see `PLAN.md` and
the v1.0 plan in `BOOTSTRAP.md`. To put them under your local working
copy, run `make bootstrap-snapshot` after a green `make wwstage`; to
ship them, `git add -f bootstrap/amd64/{ww,w6c,w6a,w6l}` explicitly.
## Workflow
A fresh-checkout flow that never invokes `cc`:
make nocc # uses bootstrap/<arch>/* as the stage-0 entry
# and proves it reproduces itself byte-for-byte
The non-nocc default (`make`) still drives `cc → cstage → wwstage`.
Both paths coexist — `make nocc` lands in `out/nocc/` so the cstage
build under `out/` is undisturbed.
## When to refresh the snapshot
The stage-0 binaries are frozen at the cgen state they were built
with. A `make nocc` failure usually means the live `selfhost/cmd/wcc`
cgen has drifted from the snapshot — regenerate with
`make bootstrap-snapshot` and re-verify.
