Snapshotting in ERD-TSVM

ERD-TSVM uses heap snapshots to capture a pre-initialized runtime state and restore it on later runs, avoiding repeated top-level setup work. This makes startup faster for tooling-oriented workloads and helps improve the responsiveness of compile and run workflows across the platform.
