tetrisgm 8ebfdb4a3d perf: profile-guided round 1 — tex_pack prim bookkeeping, xlate scan, PGXP ALU gating
First real attribution (in-process 1 kHz IP sampler, 75k samples at
oc900, play build). Top sinks and their fixes:

- tex_pack_on_textured_prim (7.4%): per-prim mutex + CLUT hash + linear
  scan over up to 8192 uploads — entirely matched-set/dump census, a
  debug/authoring surface with no reader in play builds (substitution
  lives in tex_pack_lookup_replacement). Gated out of play builds
  unless dumping. Confirmed gone in the follow-up profile.
- text_xlate_on_dispatch (4.2% -> 0.8%): the a0..a3 record scan serves
  capture (off in release) and STRING substitution; a fixes-only load
  (vram patches / glyph labels) has an empty string table, so the scan
  could never act. Early-out on empty table; the throttled patch blocks
  still run.
- psx_pgxp_alu/muldiv (3.6%): ALU/MULDIV shadows feed only tier-2
  cpu_mode and the correction consumers' chains; the exact-sign NCLIP
  arm is LOAD/STORE/COP2 only. Hook bodies now gate on
  (cpu_mode || full_hooks) — full_hooks maintained by
  gpu_pgxp_rederive_enable — and the remaining per-instruction CALL
  cost is removed by an inline g_pgxp_alu_armed check in the
  PGXP_ALU/PGXP_MULDIV macros themselves. Correctness: a stale shadow
  from the gated period is dropped by pv_validate at every consumer
  (the engine's single safety invariant, verified at the MTC2 path).

Measured effect of the round at oc900 (before the macro gate):
sustained 0.73-0.80x -> 0.87-0.91x; streaming-window dip 0.35 -> 0.50;
post-window touching 1.00x. Fresh profile after: xlate and tex_pack
prim hook out of the top-15.
