base: Add e1000d interrupt throttling rate (ITR) coalescing (P53)

Re-implements work that was lost due to ephemeral source/ subdirectory.
ITR dynamically adjusts interrupt coalescing based on packet rate.

- Add ITR register (0xC4) and set_itr() to device.rs
- Add itr.rs tracker with hysteresis-based rate adaptation
- Wire tracker into IRQ handler in main.rs
- Document in AGENTS.md: source/ is ALWAYS rewritten

## BUILD SYSTEM DURABILITY — THE CARDINAL RULE
**Never edit files under `recipes/*/source/` directly. Those trees are ephemeral — they are
destroyed and regenerated on every `repo fetch`, `repo cook`, `make clean`, and
`make distclean`. Any edit made there will be silently lost on the next build.**
**THE `recipes/*/source/` DIRECTORY WILL ALWAYS BE REWRITTEN. DO NOT EVER USE IT FOR ANY
WORK THAT YOU INTEND TO KEEP. THOSE TREES ARE EPHEMERAL — THEY ARE DESTROYED AND REGENERATED
ON EVERY `repo fetch`, `repo cook`, `make clean`, AND `make distclean`. ANY EDIT MADE THERE
WILL BE SILENTLY LOST ON THE NEXT BUILD. COMMITTING TO A SUBMODULE INSIDE `source/` DOES NOT
PROTECT YOUR WORK — THE ENTIRE DIRECTORY IS DELETED AND RE-CLONED/RE-EXTRACTED FROM SCRATCH.**
This is the #1 mistake AI agents and new contributors make. It has caused repeated work loss
in this project. The rule is:
