Getting started programming examples

[AndraBisca]

This PR introduces getting_started IRON programming examples:

• memcpy
• SAXPY
• vector_reduce_max
• matrix_multiplication_single_core

These designs are self-contained, with fixed problem sizes, and aim to introduce users to IRON and NPU capabilities. All designs are developed using the JIT workflow.
