Chez concurrency pt.1: real OS-thread futures + blocking promises (shared heap)

future/future-call run the body on a native thread (fork-thread) over the SAME
heap — JVM semantics, not Janet's isolated-heap snapshot. deref blocks on a
mutex+condition latch; timed (deref f ms val) uses an absolute deadline.
promise is a real blocking promise (deref parks until deliver), replacing the
Janet non-blocking atom shim. future?/future-done?/future-cancelled?/future-cancel
/realized? are native (the overlay versions read Janet map keys); re-asserted in
post-prelude over the overlay. pmap/pcalls/pvalues (overlay, over future) light
up for free.

Thread-safety this forces:
- atoms get a per-atom mutex; swap!/swap-vals! are a JVM-style CAS loop (f runs
  outside the lock, so a watch/validator can deref the same atom); reset!/
  compare-and-set! are atomic.
- the dynamic binding stack becomes a Chez thread-parameter, so each future/thread
  has its own; Chez inherits it at fork, giving binding conveyance (the shim also
  installs an explicit snapshot).
- Thread/sleep really sleeps now (a worker sleeping doesn't block the parent).

Re-minted the seed: future-call now resolves at compile time, so pmap compiles to
a var-deref instead of the host-static-call fallback that crashed. image.ss
unchanged.

Corpus: the 2 snapshot cases now match the JVM (shared) not Janet (isolated) —
allowlisted on both Chez gates; the two racy future-cancel cases allowlisted;
"promise undelivered" (blocks on JVM/Chez, profile :bucket :timeout) skipped like
:throws. Zero-Janet corpus 2544 -> 2569, 0 new divergences, floor raised. Full
Janet gate + JVM cert green.
