core: fn*/let*/loop* are plain-symbol primitives, matching Clojure (jolt-f79)

jolt-f79 asked to compile destructuring in fn* rest params. Checking
against Clojure inverts the premise: Clojure's fn* REJECTS destructuring
at compile time ('fn params must be Symbols'; let*/loop* 'Bad binding
form, expected symbol'). So the self-hosted analyzer was already correct
— fn*/let*/loop* are plain-symbol primitives; the fn/let/loop/defn
MACROS desugar destructuring. The real defect was the interpreter
leniently destructuring raw fn*, and defn emitting raw fn* to rely on it.

Changes:
- evaluator: fn*/let*/loop* now reject non-symbol binding forms with
  Clojure's exact messages (require-symbol-params/plain-sym?), so the
  interpreter agrees with the analyzer + Clojure.
- 00-syntax: defn emits the fn MACRO (not raw fn*) so destructuring
  params desugar; unnamed, so self-recursion still resolves via the var.
- 00-syntax: completing that exposed a real gap — the overlay destructure
  fn didn't handle kwargs (a map pattern bound against a fn's sequential
  rest); it had only worked via the interpreter's destructure-bind. Added
  the seq->map coercion to the map? branch (sequential: 1 map elt => that
  map, else apply hash-map), matching destructure-bind so interpret ==
  compile.

Net: fn*/let*/loop* are plain-symbol primitives across interpreter,
analyzer, and Clojure; all real destructuring (fn/defn/let/loop/macro
params, incl kwargs & {:keys}) compiles through the macros with no
interpreter fallback. Regression spec added.

Gate green: conformance 267x3, fallback-zero 31/5, bootstrap-fixpoint
stage1==2==3, self-host, staged-bootstrap, lazy-infinite 44/44,
clojure-test-suite >=4034/67, sci-bootstrap, features 78/78, all
unit+spec (destructuring 50/50).
