refactor(core): sync projects/unix/main.c with micropython

The file is now be quite similar to the upstream one to make future
updates easier. Notable differences include:

- entry point is `coreapp_emu()` instead of `main()`
- different command line handling that loads `main` if no module or
command is provided
- no filesystem access for frozen emulator to prevent it from loading
live modules
- no default sys.path

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit refactors the Trezor firmware's Unix emulator main file to more closely match the upstream MicroPython project. It enables a virtual file system (VFS) for the emulator, but explicitly blocks live filesystem access when running the frozen (production-like) emulator build. The changes are described as maintenance-only and carry a '[no changelog]' tag, meaning the vendor does not treat them as a security fix.

Recommended action

No immediate security action is required. Reviewers should verify that TREZOR_EMULATOR_FROZEN is always defined for release emulator builds to ensure the host filesystem remains unmounted, and confirm that the new VFS surface does not expose unintended import paths in frozen configurations.

Security signals we found

01

Enables VFS subsystem in the Unix emulator (MICROPY_VFS=1, MICROPY_VFS_POSIX=1, MICROPY_READER_VFS=1)

02

Adds host filesystem mount for non-frozen emulator builds only; frozen builds explicitly skip the mount

03

Removes custom file/stat/open fallback code in favor of upstream MicroPython VFS implementation

04

Adds MICROPY_PYEXEC_ENABLE_EXIT_CODE_HANDLING for consistent SystemExit behavior

05

No changelog entry; commit is labeled as refactor/maintenance
