Align the roadmap with a Linux-capable RV32IMA target
Broaden the documented end target from RV32IM plus machine-mode support to a Linux-capable RV32IMA core with Zicsr, Zifencei, M/S/U privilege, and Sv32. Add atomics as a required Phase 12 milestone, move the optional pipeline and memory-system work later, and introduce explicit Linux bring-up preparation for boot ABI, device tree, UART driver compatibility, OpenSBI versus direct M-mode boot, and kernel/initramfs handoff. Tighten compiler guidance so the advertised -march string follows the hardware that is actually decoded: rv32im for early bare-metal work, then rv32im_zicsr_zifencei after CSR/fence.i support, and rv32ima_zicsr_zifencei once atomics land. The roadmap also calls out loud illegal-instruction halts instead of silently treating unsupported operations as NOPs.
