Subject: [PATCH] feat(spc700): enhance cycle accuracy and instruction
 execution

- Introduced a new cycle lookup table for SPC700 instructions, improving timing precision.
- Refactored instruction execution to be fully atomic, eliminating the bstep mechanism.
- Added detailed comments for clarity on cycle counts and instruction behavior.
- Implemented additional logging for CPU audio initialization to aid debugging.

Benefits:
- Enhanced synchronization between CPU and APU.
- Improved testability and accuracy of instruction timing.
- Streamlined code for better maintainability and understanding.
