fix(v4): the build refuses an Artemis cap its 32-bit block numbers cannot hold (#182)

sk_v4_grow.c's dev_rw4k computes 1 KiB block numbers as (uint32_t)devblock * 4,
which wraps past 4 TiB; Artemis is capped at 256 GiB (STICK_ARTEMIS_CAP_GIB,
kernel/Makefile), so it is latent -- but nothing said so where the cast is. Now
a compile-time check there (the C99 negative-array pattern the tree uses): a
cap past 4 TiB stops the build, and a cap not defined at all is an #error, not
a skipped check. gpt.c's casts are bounded by the disk's own size, itself a
32-bit count of 1 KiB blocks, checked before each: each now says so.

kernel/tests' check_cap, seen to fail first (a 4096 GiB cap built); now 3
checks, 0 failures -- 256 GiB builds, 4096 GiB and none refused. Built for
amd64, aarch64, riscv64. The plan's increments 2 and 3 marked.
