docs: Create AI-assisted compiler development paper structure

Added paper-g-ai-assisted-compiler folder documenting:
- Week-long LLVM backend development with AI assistance
- Key insights from PHI/SSA struggles to Resolver API solution
- Development log capturing the chaotic reality
- Abstract in both English and Japanese

Key quote: 'I don't remember anymore' - capturing the authentic
experience of intensive AI-assisted development where the process
itself becomes the research data.

This represents potentially the first fully documented case of
building a compiler backend primarily through AI assistance.
