Assemble FILE (amd64), map it into executable memory and report the available
functions.  This confirms the assembled image is self-consistent (no
unresolved external symbols) and executable — the prerequisite for dynamic
testing.

With -smoke, each NOSPLIT function is called with a zeroed argument block to
confirm the JIT trampoline works end-to-end.  This is safe only for functions
that tolerate nil pointers and zero lengths in their arguments.

With -abi, each function is called with sentinel values in the callee-saved
registers (BP, R14) and a red-zone canary below SP; violations are reported.

With -fuzz, each function with a // func signature is differentially fuzzed
against the go-tool-asm version in a subprocess (so a crash on a partial
function is reported, not fatal).

With -ground-truth, the assembled machine code is compared byte-for-byte
against go tool asm (relocation sites masked), reporting any encoding drift.

With -profile, the static basic-block structure is listed for each function.

With -call, a single function is invoked with user-supplied buffers (-buf)
instead of the smoke/abi/fuzz sweeps.  Useful for partial functions (e.g.
decoders) that crash on random input but should succeed on valid data.
