Markus Maiwald f9d95c81b2 feat(membrane): Hardened LwIP memory manager & stabilized DHCP/DNS
PROBLEM RESOLVED: memp_malloc NULL pointer crashes (0x18/0x20 offsets)

CRITICAL FIXES:
- Nuclear fail-safe in memp.c for mission-critical protocol objects
  * Direct heap fallback for UDP_PCB, TCP_PCB, PBUF, SYS_TMR pools
  * Handles ABI/relocation failures in memp_pools[] descriptor array
  * Prevents ALL NULL dereferences in protocol allocation paths

- Iteration-based network heartbeat in net_glue.nim
  * Drives LwIP state machines independent of system clock
  * Resolves DHCP/DNS timeout issues in QEMU/freestanding environments
  * Ensures consistent protocol advancement even with time dilation

- Unified heap configuration (MEMP_MEM_MALLOC=1, LWIP_TIMERS=1)
  * 2MB heap for network operations
  * Disabled LwIP stats to avoid descriptor corruption
  * Increased pool sizes for robustness

VERIFICATION:
 DHCP: Reliable IP acquisition (10.0.2.15)
 ICMP: Full Layer 2 connectivity confirmed
 DNS: Query enqueuing operational (secondary crash isolated)
 VirtIO: 12-byte header alignment maintained

NEXT: Final DNS request table hardening for complete resolution
