add a constant string "boot-source" which is run at startup
this will allow us to have compiled-in code that wouldn't run under the transforms, though we don't add anything of substance just yet this strategy was used early in bring-up, in the historical flatassembler version of Evocation, so the design space of it is already well-explored in Irenes' head. how pleasant. :) Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I722cddb77657df9ca518c0d9841aa587bf63feb3
