Patch Review

This is the largest preparatory patch and the most impactful refactoring. I=
t switches from storing firmware data in `DmaObject` (requiring unsafe poin=
ter operations) to storing it in `KVVec<u8>` and only creating a `DmaObject=
` at load time.

**Positives:**
- Eliminates the `transmute` and `transmute_mut` unsafe helper functions in=
 `fwsec.rs`, replacing raw pointer arithmetic with safe `from_bytes_prefix`=
 / `from_bytes_mut_prefix` calls.
- The `FirmwareDmaObject` =E2=86=92 `FirmwareObject` rename accurately refl=
ects the new semantics.
- The `patch_signature` method now uses `checked_add` and `get_mut` for bou=
nds checking instead of manual size comparisons and raw pointer writes =E2=
=80=94 a clear safety improvement.

**Minor observations:**

The `as_slice()` method added to `FalconLoadParams` exposes the inner `KVVe=
c` through the trait:
```rust
fn as_slice(&self) -> &[u8] {
    self.ucode.0.as_slice()
}
```
This accesses the inner `FirmwareObject.0` field directly. This works, but =
the `.0` field access from the outer struct through to the inner tuple stru=
ct is a bit fragile =E2=80=94 it relies on the field structure of `Firmware=
Object`. If `FirmwareObject` were ever to change its internal representatio=
n, all implementors would break. This is fine for internal (`pub(crate)`) u=
se, but worth noting.

No blocking issues.
