SirStone 77e6dace01 BitBrain: generic clean-room ADE + SBC library with MNIST acceptance
Implement the BitBrain (Address Decoder Element + Sparse Binary Coincidence)
classifier as a generic, deterministic Nim library under common_libs/bitbrain/,
written from the published algorithm (Front. Neuroinform. 17:1125844), not from
the GPL-3.0 reference C.

- ade.nim: signed thresholded random projection (scale 64 / centre 127 defaults
  reproduce the reference), multi-width ADs, optional deterministic homeostatic
  threshold adaptation. Hebbian longevity and Metropolis-Hastings sampling are
  described but not implemented.
- sbc.nim: packed class-bit coincidence memory; idempotent learn, counting
  inference.
- bitbrain.nim: container over several ADs and SBCs, online learn/infer, argmax
  readout, memory accounting.
- tests: 32 unit checks (idempotence, planted rule + monotone online curve,
  shuffled-label chance control, unseen input, homeostasis, memory).
- tests/test_bitbrain_mnist.nim: loads the reference pretrained ADs/thresholds
  and MNIST from /tmp, reproduces the reference exactly - 97.210% corrected and
  96.540% bug-compatible - confirming the port.

No gun/wiring integration yet; inputs and outputs to be agreed separately.

## Unit / sanity tests for the generic BitBrain (ADE + SBC) library.
##
## No Java, no battles, no I/O: everything here is deterministic and seeded.
## Run:
## nim c -r --nimcache:/tmp/nc_j90 common_libs/tests/test_bitbrain.nim
##
## Covers:
## * ADE scoring / thresholding against a hand-computed example,
## * idempotent SBC learning (learn one sample 1000x -> identical memory),
## * a planted rule learned near-perfectly,
## * an online (incremental) learning curve that improves monotonically,
## * a shuffled-label control that degrades to chance,
## * correct, non-crashing behaviour on an unseen input,
## * homeostatic threshold adaptation moves the firing rate toward target.
