ci: fix red lint gates (deadcode mis-scope + vet unreachable/self-assign)

The tests pass; CI was red on two lint gates only.

deadcode (go.yml): the gate ran `deadcode ./example/webserver`, a single
entry point that does not import the engine's determinism machinery, so it
flagged seed.go's SeedRandom/SetDeterministicTics/ResetClock/CurrentTic/
RandomState as dead. They are NOT dead -- they are consumed by
cmd/harvest-reference and backend/tamago and exercised by seed_test.go. The
gate was simply pointed at too narrow an entry-point set. Widen it to the
real engine consumers (./cmd/harvest-reference, ./embedwad) and add -test so
deadcode builds the true reachability graph (this also covers embedwad's
build-tagged DOOM1WAD stub, reachable only from its own package test). The
cgo SDL/ebitengine demos stay excluded -- they don't build without SDL and
are covered by the "Build example" step.

go vet (ci-6arch.yml): the vet gate failed on 24 unreachable-code and 3
self-assignment findings in the mechanically transpiled doom.go, plus the
advisory unsafeptr findings inherent to the C-to-Go pointer port.

  - Removed the 24 unreachable statements: dead `fallthrough` after a C
    `break`/`return` (preserves C break semantics -- the fallthrough never
    ran and would be wrong if it did), dead `goto LABEL` sitting immediately
    before `LABEL:`, dead `break` after `return`, and trailing
    `return`/`return 0` after an exhaustive terminating switch / if-else /
    `for {}`. All are pure deletions of never-executed statements; control
    flow is identical.

  - Removed the 3 `x = x` self-assignments (skytexturename and the two
    wadinfo byte-swap-macro artifacts that transpiled to identity on
    little-endian); they are no-ops, behavior is unchanged.

  - Disabled only the unsafeptr analyzer in the vet gate. doom.go threads
    WAD I/O through (uintptr)(unsafe.Pointer(&buf)) -> w_Read(...), which
    unsafeptr flags on every call. These are not real defects (the pointer
    is consumed immediately, never stored across a call) and fixing them
    would mean hand-editing the transpiled C port. Every other analyzer
    stays on, so unreachable/self-assignment/printf regressions are still
    caught.

No engine logic was changed beyond removing the precise vet-flagged dead
statements.
