Chez Phase 1 (increment 3g): letfn + declare/def-no-init

Closes the last two non-host-interop prelude emit gaps.

letfn now analyzes to a :let node flagged :letrec — the binding fns are bound
into the env together before any spec is analyzed, so siblings and self resolve.
The Chez back end lowers it to letrec*; the Janet back end punts it at emit
(its sequential let* can't express the mutual recursion — same interpreter
fallback as before, just decided at emit-ir instead of analyze).

(def x) with no init (declare) analyzes to a :def with :no-init instead of
punting. Chez reserves the var cell via declare-var! (which doesn't clobber an
existing root — (do (def x 7) (def x) x) => 7); the Janet back end still punts
to the interpreter, which interns a genuinely-unbound var.

fallback-zero-test now checks emit-ir too, not just analyze-form, so the real
compile-vs-interpret decision is what it asserts (letfn/def-no-init analyze but
the Janet back end punts them). letfn stays in must-punt with an updated note.

Prelude emit reach 342 -> 348/355 (40-lazy now 13/13); Chez subset 664 -> 672,
0 divergences; emit-test 110 -> 117. Full gate green.
