build: a no-main entry namespace runs as a script instead of crashing

jolt build -m ns on a namespace with only top-level side effects and no
-main produced a binary that printed its output, then crashed calling a nil
-main ("nil cannot be cast to IFn"). The launcher now calls -main only when
the entry ns actually defines one; otherwise the top-level forms (already run
at heap build) are the whole program and it exits cleanly. Regression case
added to build-smoke.sh.
