coolguy d5ba699744 dev: require the pinned toolchain, and clear the QEMU-era leftovers
The host gate accepted a WATCOM environment override and skipped when nothing
was found. Both are wrong for what it is: a system-wide Open Watcom is a
different version reporting different diagnostics, and a gate that skips is a
gate that is not running, which is the exact shape of the problem this file was
added to close. It now uses .dosboxx/watcom only and fails with the setup
command when that is absent, matching how dosboxx.py already behaves.

Nothing else in the project reaches for a system install: the DOS session sets
WATCOM=W: before calling BUILD.BAT, so the C:\DEVEL\WATCOMC fallback inside it
is unreachable.

fec/test-dos.bat was tracked but dead -- the runner generates RUN.BAT and only
copies build-dos.bat -- so it goes, along with the comment claiming it drives
the build and the three fixture READMEs that still pointed at it. The registry
decides what runs now.

(.qemu/ is untracked local debris from the same era and is left alone.)

M6 fixtures

These fixtures pin the M6 ownership/borrow rules before implementation.

  • ok*.fe must compile with --target=bits32 --emit-c.
  • bad*.fe must fail compilation; the first line follows the // ERROR:<line>:<substring> convention from SPEC §12.
  • They are registered in src/ferrolang_vm/registry.py, which is what decides whether a milestone runs.
  • When M6 starts, wire this directory into the DOS/QEMU gate without changing the expected result of any fixture.
  • M6 also owns the general-global borrow restriction from R10 because AGENTS.md explicitly groups that change with the own.c state-machine work.

Coverage: R4 storage restrictions, R5 scope, R6 shared/exclusive liveness, root-local field/index conflicts, call-only &mut -> & reborrows, branch/loop MaybeMoved and initialization-state merging, R7 invalidation, R8 derived-return provenance joins, defer lifetime extension, and global borrow restrictions.
