Chez Phase 1 (increment 3i): regex via vendored irregex

Closes the last clojure.core prelude emit gap (parse-uuid): the whole
non-macro core now lowers to Scheme (prelude reach 355/355).

A #"..." literal analyzes to a :regex IR node. The Chez back end emits
a jolt-regex value over irregex (Alex Shinn, BSD), vendored as the
vendor/irregex submodule -- a portable Scheme regex with PCRE/Java-style
string patterns and first-class Chez support. host/chez/regex.ss wraps
jolt's re-* surface over it: irregex-match -> re-matches (anchored),
irregex-search -> re-find, groups as Clojure [whole g1 ...] vectors,
re-seq as a jolt seq. re-pattern/re-matches/re-find/re-seq/regex? are
def-var!'d into clojure.core so prelude / -e code resolves them.

They stay OUT of the subset native-ops on purpose: irregex's
Unicode/property-class semantics differ from the seed's byte-PEG
approximation, so keeping them prelude-only avoids dragging
engine-difference divergences into the subset-parity corpus. The Janet
back end punts :regex to the interpreter (the seed compiles #"..." to a
Janet PEG), so the main language is unchanged.

Only two adaptations for Chez's top level: a cond-expand shim (Chez's is
library-only) and a normalizing error wrapper (silences irregex's 1-arg
error warnings). rt.ss load is ~0.18s.

emit-test 131/131 (regex literal + re-* parity vs the CLI oracle);
prelude reach 355/355; Chez subset 672/672, 0 divergences; full gate
green.

Baseline after inc 3h (host-interop method calls): **354/355 non-macro core forms
emit** to Scheme (was 348 at inc 3g, 342 at inc 3f). A `.method` call now analyzes
to a `:host-call` IR node; the Chez emitter lowers it to a `jolt-host-call`
dispatch for the methods the RT shims — `.write` → port `display`, `.isDirectory`
`file-directory?`, `.listFiles``directory-list` — closing the io tier's
print-method defmethods and `file-seq` (now 20/20). Any other method is out of
subset (a clean emit-time reject, so it can't masquerade as a compiled-but-broken
divergence); the Janet back end punts ALL `:host-call` to the interpreter. Prior
incs: `:quote` reconstructs the raw reader form as RT constructors; `:throw`
`jolt-throw`, `:try``guard` + `dynamic-wind`, `ex-info` native-op; `letfn`
`letrec*`; `declare`/def-no-init → a reserved var cell. Remaining 1 gap: the regex
literal in `parse-uuid` (needs a regex engine on Chez — see jolt issue). The probe
has a regression floor (354).
Baseline after inc 3i (regex): **355/355 non-macro core forms emit** to Scheme —
the whole non-macro clojure.core now lowers. inc 3i closed the last gap, the regex
literal in `parse-uuid`: a `#"…"` literal lowers to a `:regex` IR node and the Chez
emitter emits a `jolt-regex` value over **vendored irregex** (Alex Shinn, BSD,
`vendor/irregex` submodule) — a portable Scheme regex with PCRE/Java-style string
patterns. `re-pattern`/`re-matches`/`re-find`/`re-seq`/`regex?` are `def-var!`'d
into clojure.core (`host/chez/regex.ss`); they stay OUT of the subset native-ops
(irregex's Unicode/property-class semantics differ from the seed's byte-PEG
approximation), so they resolve in prelude mode — the path the assembled prelude
takes — without dragging engine-difference divergences into the subset corpus. The
Janet back end punts `:regex` to the interpreter (the seed compiles `#"…"` to a
Janet PEG). Prior incs: inc 3h `.method``:host-call` (`jolt-host-call` for
`.write`/`.isDirectory`/`.listFiles`); `:quote`, `:throw`, `:try`, `ex-info`,
`letfn``letrec*`, `declare`/def-no-init → reserved var cell. The probe has a
regression floor (355) — every non-macro core form must keep emitting.
