Migrate clojure.core/set from a native shim to the kernel overlay tier

Browse source

set was a native shim (apply jolt-hash-set (seq->list coll)). It is a
pure composition, so the Clojure version (apply hash-set (seq coll))
lowers to the same code. The compiler uses set, but only off the emit
path (the backend's bare-native-names def and type inference), so it can
live in the kernel tier: compiling that tier never calls set, and by the
time those callers run the tier is already bound.

This is distinct from boolean, which the backend calls for every :if
node on the emit path. Moving boolean even to the kernel tier deadlocks
(compiling the tier that defines boolean needs boolean), so boolean stays
native. Added a comment in predicates.ss recording that.

Re-mint converges in 3 passes and the benchmark suite is unchanged
within noise (collections 43.3 vs 43.1, binary-trees 367 vs 367, the
rest flat).
