LoadBootstrapELF accepted __panic_state and __panic_code at the same
address, or as two words sharing bytes: the code's store would then also
set the guard, and nothing could tell the two apart. They must now be two
non-overlapping words of the data segment, like the other checks, before
any byte is written. BootstrapELFTest.PanicWordsMustNotAlias: the same
word and three partial overlaps, all inside the data segment, are
rejected; adjacent words are accepted. With the rule disabled, the test
fails. (StarOS MMU-001 review of F1.)

StarOS's panic path (ADR-0014 R6) writes no trace line: it sets the guard
word __panic_state, stores __panic_code and halts. LoadBootstrapELF now
returns both symbols when an image has them (optional, but both or
neither, as words of the data segment), and the probe stops a run whose
guard is set: it prints the trace published so far and
"Starlet panic state <n> code <n>", and passes --expect-panic when the
state is 1. Images without these symbols (StarletOS) load and run as
before; a REV:PANIC trace line still satisfies --expect-panic.
