Enable Go-to-Definition for Linux kernel source by renaming cache - #14

VS Code's C/C++ extension does not index dot-prefixed folders, so the synced kernel headers and source under .kernel-cache/ were invisible to IntelliSense and Go-to-Definition (F12) on a kernel symbol resolved nowhere. - Rename .kernel-cache/ -> kernel-cache/ (non-hidden) and update every reference: .gitignore, c_cpp_properties.json, settings.json, Makefile, scripts/00,02,03,04, README.md, CI workflow comment. - settings.json: drop the empty "C_Cpp.default.configurationProvider" (an empty provider suppresses c_cpp_properties.json) and remove the cache from files.exclude (excluding it also drops it from indexing). - c_cpp_properties.json: add kernel-cache/current/source to browse.path and set limitSymbolsToIncludedHeaders=false so Go-to-Definition can reach function bodies defined in kernel .c files, not just the header declarations. Verified: .vscode JSON valid, scripts pass bash -n, module builds against the renamed cache, and the DWARF prefix-map invariant still holds (no build/intermediate/ paths leak into the .ko).
