Intern no-ns keywords without per-call allocation

(keyword #f name) built a fresh combined-key string (string-append) on every
call just to do the intern-table lookup — ~80 bytes of garbage per (:kw x), map
literal, keyword arg, etc. A no-ns keyword now interns in a table keyed by the
name string directly, so a lookup of an already-interned keyword is one
hashtable-ref with no allocation. The ns table keeps the combined key; both share
the keyword-t khash (equal-hash of the combined key) so hash values are unchanged.

Small time win on its own (the field-read dispatch dominates hot record code —
see jolt-unx4) but removes per-call keyword allocation everywhere. Runtime .ss,
no re-mint; identity/=/hash unchanged, make test green.
