Pull request overview
Adds a new compiler-focused technical reference documenting how Jet lowers EVM bytecode into LLVM basic blocks and wires control flow (including jump table dispatch).
Changes:
- Introduces
docs/bytecode-to-llvm-blocks.mddescribingCodeBlock/CodeBlocks, bytecode chunking, CFG construction, and terminator semantics. - Includes pseudo-code and illustrative IR snippets for JUMP/JUMPI/JUMPDEST handling.
- Adds guidance for diagramming the lowering pipeline.

Address feedback that "empty rom == open" doesn't hold for consecutive JUMPDESTs, which create closed blocks with zero-length rom slices. Update Block Lifecycle section to accurately describe the implementation's use of is_empty() as a reassignment guard rather than state indicator.
