feat(asset_manager): Implement array-based caching

- Refactored asset manager to use a static array for caching, improving performance and memory efficiency.
- Updated asset_packer to correctly generate ASSET_LAST_ID for array sizing.
- Modified asset_manager.h to use a forward declaration for AssetId.
- Updated asset_manager.cc to use the conditional include for generated asset headers.
- Added a test case in test_assets to verify the array-based cache and ASSET_LAST_ID logic.

+*   **17. Implement Asset Manager Caching & Procedural Generation**
+    *   17a. **(Task a)** Implemented array-based caching in `asset_manager.cc` for `GetAsset` (Done).
+    *   17b. **(Task b)** Modify `asset_packer` to parse a new `PROC(function_name)` compression method. This will generate a record mapping an Asset ID to the procedural function's name.
+    *   17c. **(Task b)** Implement a runtime dispatcher in `GetAsset`. When a `PROC` asset is requested, the dispatcher will look up the function by its name and execute it. The result will then be cached.
+    *   17d. **(Task c)** Update the asset management test suite to include a test case with `PROC(function_name)` in `test_assets_list.txt` to verify the generation and caching.
+    *   17e. **(Task d)** Integrate into `demo64k` by adding a procedural noise texture to `demo_assets.txt` and using this new mechanism in the `Hybrid3DEffect` for bump mapping.
