Descripción
## Description
Ghidra's trace model supports multiple snapshots, enabling time-travel debugging where users can scrub back through execution history. Currently the plugin overwrites the same snapshot on each stop.
## Proposed implementation
- Create a new snapshot on each stop event instead of overwriting (already using `trace.snapshot()`)
- Retain register and memory state per snapshot
- Let Ghidra's built-in timeline UI navigate between snapshots
- Add configurable limits (max snapshots, memory per snapshot) to avoid unbounded growth
- Optionally record memory diffs instead of full 64KB per snapshot
## Why this matters
Time-travel debugging is extremely powerful for understanding 6502 code behavior, especially for timing-sensitive code (raster effects, SID music, etc.) where you need to understand what happened N instructions ago.
