Matthew Stanley 7793bf5ac8 overlay-cache v2 P2: generation-gated dispatch validation
The dispatch path re-CRC32'd a native overlay function's ENTIRE code body on
every single call (cand_crc, unconditional) before running it -- a real tax on
hot per-frame code that blunted the native win. The page-generation counter that
could make this a cheap skip existed but was demoted to a diagnostic.

Promote it: a watched-page write is the ONLY way an entry's code can change, and
every CPU/DMA store funnels through the store chokepoint which bumps
overlay_page_gen for watched pages. So if the page-generation sum is unchanged
since this entry was last confirmed VALID, the bytes are provably unchanged ->
run native WITHOUT re-hashing. Fall back to the full crc32 only when the gen
moved or the entry isn't known-valid (this also re-confirms reload-on-return,
since write-away-then-back bumps the gen). Applied to both the main candidate
chain and the CPS continuation re-entry path. Correctness identical to the old
unconditional hash; only redundant hashing is cut. New gen_fastpath counter
exposed in the overlay status.
