Add a Clojure FFI so libraries can bind native code (jolt.ffi)
A jolt library can now bind its own native dependencies and expose a Clojure API over them — no jolt built-in required. This is the foundation for moving the http-client / db / adapter functionality out of the host and into real libraries. - jolt.ffi/foreign-fn (sugar: defcfn) is a compiler special form: a compile-time -typed C signature lowers to a real Chez foreign-procedure (analyzer :ffi-fn -> backend foreign-procedure), so calls are typed and marshaled, not eval'd. - host/chez/ffi.ss provides the rest under jolt.ffi: load-library, alloc/free, read/write/sizeof, ptr<->string, null/null?. Loaded after the loader snapshot so a library's (require '[jolt.ffi]) still loads the macro side. - Types: int/uint/long/ulong/int64/uint64/size_t/ssize_t/iptr/uptr/double/float/ pointer/string/void/uint8/char. Validated end to end: a pure-Clojure file binds libc (getpid/strlen/abs) and libsqlite3 (open/prepare/step/column/finalize over out-param pointers) and runs a query. Gate test test/chez/ffi-binding-test.ss (make ffi); selfhost holds.
