fix(mcu): MCU-A7 — persist emergency state across MCU resets in BKPSRAM

Emergency_Stop's hold loop refreshed IWDG forever, so any reset path that
DID fire (SYSRESETREQ from another fault, brown-out) would re-run
startup and re-energize the PA rails — there was no record that the
system had been in emergency state. Watchdog defeat in the hold loop
masked the problem.

BKPSRAM gives us a flag that survives every reset path but is lost on
main-power removal — exactly the recovery semantics we want:
power-cycle is the deliberate operator action that clears emergency,
every other reset stays in safe-hold.

  - Added emergency_persist_set/check helpers (BKPSRAM @ 0x40024000,
    magic 0xDEAD5A5A); enable PWR + backup-access + BKPSRAM clock.
  - Emergency_Stop now writes the flag BEFORE the rail-cut sequence so
    even an interrupted shutdown still leaves the persisted state set.
  - main() checks the flag immediately after MX_IWDG_Init and before
    any PA enable code; if set, calls Emergency_Stop directly. GPIO
    init has already forced all PA enables LOW, so the safe-hold path
    is reached without a single PA rail going hot.

Hold-loop IWDG refresh kept intentionally: a healthy hold loop does not
need to cycle the MCU, but if the loop itself wedges (stack corruption,
bus fault), refresh stops, IWDG fires, and the persist flag routes the
reset right back into safe-hold.

Added test_mcu_a7_emergency_persist (6 cases) modelling BKPSRAM
persistence vs power-cycle, including a regression check that exercises
the pre-fix "no persistence" boot to confirm it would have re-energized
the PAs. MCU regression now 78/78.

+ * test_mcu_a7_emergency_persist.c
+ *
+ * MCU-A7: the original Emergency_Stop hold loop refreshed IWDG forever, so
+ * a stuck loop or wedged interrupt could not be recovered by watchdog reset
+ * AND, even if a reset did occur (e.g. SYSRESETREQ from another fault),
+ * startup re-energized the PA rails because there was no persistent state.
+ *
+ * Production fix uses BKPSRAM as a reset-surviving emergency flag:
+ *   1. Emergency_Stop sets the BKPSRAM magic BEFORE cutting rails.
+ *   2. main() checks the flag IMMEDIATELY after MX_IWDG_Init, before any
+ *      PA enable code, and re-enters Emergency_Stop if the flag is set.
+ *   3. The flag is cleared only by main-power removal (BKPSRAM loses
+ *      contents) — power-cycle is the deliberate operator action required
+ *      to clear emergency.
+ *
+ * This test models BKPSRAM as a process-local "non-volatile" word, replays
+ * the Emergency_Stop set + boot-time check sequence across simulated
+ * resets, and asserts the PA rails stay LOW across every reset path until
+ * BKPSRAM is explicitly cleared (modelling a power cycle).
