Fix CI test segfault: clamp stack ulimit before odin test
Root cause found via gdb backtrace on the runner (thread::pool_init crashed from main -> testing runner): the CI container sets `ulimit -s unlimited`, so getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK) returns RLIM_INFINITY. core:thread passes that to pthread_attr_setstacksize, pthread_create fails, and thread.create() returns nil, which core:testing's pool_init dereferences without a nil check. Reproduced and confirmed fixed in an ubuntu:24.04 container with the same Odin build. `just test` now clamps the stack limit before running odin test. Also removes the gdb diagnostic step added to debug this. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

6. **Windows builds are cross-compiled**: Odin can't link Windows binaries on Linux, so `just windows` builds objects with `-build-mode:obj` and links with `lld-link` against an xwin SDK. The VC runtime is linked statically; only Windows system DLLs are needed. New Odin core usage can need new import libs (e.g. `ole32.lib` for `os.user_data_dir`); the CI `windows` job catches this. Not yet tested on a real Windows machine.

7. **Odin constant arrays can't be indexed at runtime**: lookup tables (`DECKS`, `LAYOUTS`, …) are `@(rodata)` globals instead of `::` constants.
|
||||
8. **Profile memory**: `profile` always allocates from the heap allocator, because the test runner frees each test's allocator afterwards.

9. **CI's `build` job segfaults on `odin test`** (exit 139) on the self-hosted runner, even running alone — reproduces every push so far. Does not reproduce locally or in a plain `ubuntu:24.04` container with the same Odin version, so it's specific to the runner's actual job image/environment, not the test code. Under investigation; see the `Debug Segfault` diagnostic step in `gitea-build.yaml`.

9. **`odin test` segfaults if the stack rlimit is "unlimited"**: the CI runner's container sets `ulimit -s unlimited`, which makes `getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK).rlim_cur` come back as `RLIM_INFINITY` (a huge unsigned value). Odin's `core:thread` passes that straight to `pthread_attr_setstacksize`, `pthread_create` then fails, and `thread.create()` returns `nil` - which `core:testing`'s `pool_init` dereferences unconditionally, segfaulting the whole test binary (exit 139) before it prints anything. `just test` works around it with `ulimit -s 8192` before running `odin test`. Upstream Odin bug (core:thread/core:testing don't handle a failed thread creation); not our code.
