Make the benchmark harness build optimized binaries on Chez

Browse source 
bench/run.sh was Janet-era: it invoked a 'jolt' binary and set
JOLT_DIRECT_LINK/JOLT_WHOLE_PROGRAM, none of which exist on Chez, where
'joltc run -m' runs fully unoptimized (direct-link and inline default off). So
the suite was measuring jolt's unoptimized path.

run.sh now compiles each benchmark to an optimized AOT binary (joltc build
--direct-link --opt) and times it against JVM Clojure on the same portable
source, auto-detecting the Chez kernel dev files like build-smoke.sh. Adds
bench/deps.edn so joltc resolves the namespaces, NO_JVM to skip the reference.

mandelbrot.clj dropped its jolt.png require so the JVM reference can run it; the
picture demo moved to mandelbrot_png.clj (jolt-only). README scorecard refreshed
with current Chez numbers and the two-regime read (compute ~8-10x substrate floor;
dispatch/alloc ~120-330x architectural gaps the passes don't touch). Stale
'jolt -m' header lines point at bench/run.sh.
