Compiler research (#10)

adds self-hosted compiler is functionally:
 
- The default compile path is the portable pipeline using jolt.analyzer (Clojure) → host-neutral IR → backend.janet.
- The analyzer is itself Clojure, compiled by jolt for true self-hosting.
- bootstrap-fixpoint passes (stage1 == stage2 == stage3): rebuilding the compiler on its own output.
- clojure.core is now self-hosted in the overlay.
- Stateful forms (defmacro/ns/deftype/defmulti/require/in-ns) are interpreted by design.

(ns jolt.ir
"Host-neutral intermediate representation for the Jolt compiler.
The analyzer (jolt.analyzer) produces IR; a host back end consumes it. IR nodes
are plain maps tagged with :op no host values embedded. Globals reference vars
by name (:ns/:name), never by a host var cell, so the IR is portable and
AOT-safe. This namespace is pure Clojure (portable jolt-core): it depends on
nothing host-specific.")
