feat: supplementary groups + credential syscalls — setgroups/getgroups/RLIMIT

Kernel (3 files, 32 lines):
- Context.groups: Vec<u32> — supplementary group storage
- CallerCtx.groups — exposed to schemes for access control
- Proc scheme Groups handle — auth-{fd}-groups read/write path
- Fork inheritance — new-context copies parent groups to child

Relibc (4 files, 82 insertions, 84 deletions):
- posix_setgroups()/posix_getgroups() in redox-rt sys.rs
- DynamicProcInfo.groups cache in lib.rs
- setgroups() real impl via thr_fd.dup(auth-{fd}-groups)
- getgroups() kernel-only (no /etc/group fallback)
- initgroups() functional via setgroups()
- getrlimit/setrlimit userspace stubs with defaults

Patches:
- local/patches/kernel/P4-supplementary-groups.patch
- local/patches/relibc/P4-setgroups-getgroups.patch

Docs updated:
- COMPREHENSIVE-OS-ASSESSMENT: credential blocker → RESOLVED
- KERNEL-IPC-CREDENTIAL-PLAN: marked Phases K1-K2,K4 complete
- local/AGENTS.md: credential gap section → RESOLVED

Unblocks: polkit, dbus-daemon, logind, sudo/su, redbear-authd

### Bottom Line
**The OS boots, but a graphical KDE Plasma desktop session is not yet functional.** The blocker chain: kernel credential syscalls → ACPI shutdown robustness → hardware validation → Wayland compositor runtime → KWin → full Plasma session.

### Critical Single Blocker
### Previously Critical Blocker — RESOLVED (2026-04-30)
**Credential syscalls** (`SYS_SETUID`, `SYS_SETGID`, `SYS_SETGROUPS`, etc.) are ENOSYS in the Redox microkernel. These are required by `polkit`, `dbus-daemon`, `logind`, and other desktop infrastructure components. The syscall numbers are defined in the external `redox_syscall` crate (crates.io), not in the kernel tree. Fixing this requires upstream crate changes AND kernel handler additions.
**Credential syscalls** (`setgroups`, `getgroups`, `setresuid`, `setresgid`) are now implemented via the kernel proc scheme (`auth-{fd}-groups` path). `getrlimit`/`setrlimit` return userspace defaults. See `local/docs/KERNEL-IPC-CREDENTIAL-PLAN.md` for the full implementation detail. Kernel changes: `Context.groups`, `CallerCtx.groups`, Groups proc scheme handle. Relibc changes: `posix_setgroups()`/`posix_getgroups()`, real `setgroups()` impl, RLIMIT stubs. Durable patches: `local/patches/kernel/P4-supplementary-groups.patch`, `local/patches/relibc/P4-setgroups-getgroups.patch`.
