Ilia Sharin b915524667 docs: Document CDFS architecture and handler ecosystem
- Add comprehensive cdfs.md covering ISO 9660, UDF, handlers, and hardware.
- Update relevant section indexes (07_dos, 10_devices, 02_boot_sequence) and root README.
- Expand scsi.md to link to the new CDFS coverage.

Boot Sequence — Overview

From power-on to Workbench desktop: hardware init, ROM validation, kernel creation, device enumeration, boot block execution, and startup scripts.
