* core: Stage 2 Task 2 tier 2a — compile defprotocol/extend-type/extend-protocol

Applies the proven enabler: stateful primitives become per-ctx closures
captured over ctx, interned in clojure.core (install-stateful-fns!), so
they resolve + compile as plain :var invokes and work for deferred calls.

- protocol-dispatch / register-method: extracted from the interpreter
  special handlers into ctx-taking impls (protocol-dispatch-impl /
  register-method-impl) + interned as ctx-capturing clojure.core fns.
  Removed their special-symbol? entries + handler arms, and dropped them
  from host_iface special-names + compiler uncompilable-heads.
- defprotocol/extend-type/extend-protocol macros now pass the protocol/
  method/type NAMES as strings (not symbols), so the emitted calls compile
  as ordinary invokes; removed the three macros from special-names so the
  analyzer expands+compiles them instead of punting to the interpreter.
- Both interpreter and compiled paths now call the same ctx-capturing
  closures (one dispatch implementation, no special-form duplication).

reify/make-reified deferred to tier 2b (map-eval shape); defrecord waits
on deftype (tier 5).

Gate green: conformance 267x3, fallback-zero 31/5, bootstrap-fixpoint
stage1==2==3, self-host, staged-bootstrap, clojure-test-suite >=4034/67,
features 78/78, all unit + spec (protocols 7/7, multimethods 9/9).

* core: Stage 2 Task 2 tier 2b — compile reify (make-reified as a fn)

Completes the protocol machinery: make-reified joins protocol-dispatch/
register-method as a ctx-capturing clojure.core fn (install-stateful-fns!).
- make-reified-impl takes the EVALUATED {keyword fn} method map (a phm when
  compiled, struct/table when interpreted) and builds the reified object.
- reify macro passes the protocol NAME as a string; method map is an ordinary
  map literal evaluating to {keyword fn}.
- Removed make-reified's special-symbol? entry + handler arm, and dropped
  make-reified + reify from host_iface special-names + compiler
  uncompilable-heads.

reify now compiles and dispatches in both modes (single- and multi-method).
With tier 2a, the full protocol surface (defprotocol/extend-type/
extend-protocol/reify) compiles; defrecord still waits on deftype (tier 5).

Gate green: conformance 267x3, fallback-zero 31/5, bootstrap-fixpoint
stage1==2==3, self-host, staged-bootstrap, clojure-test-suite >=4034/67,
features 78/78, all unit + spec (protocols 7/7x3).

* core: Stage 2 Task 2 tier 3 — compile (var x) + binding

binding keys its thread-binding frame on var cells via (var x), so it
needed (var x) to compile. Added a the-var IR node that emits the embedded
var cell itself (vs var-ref, which derefs):
- ir.clj: the-var node.
- analyzer: 'var' added to handled; analyze-special resolves the symbol to
  its var and emits the-var (uncompilable for a non-var, matching Clojure).
- backend: :the-var emits (quote cell) — the exact per-ctx cell var-get
  keys on, so a compiled binding overrides + restores correctly.
- removed var from loader stateful-head? + host_iface special-names, and
  binding from special-names so it expands+compiles.

Dynamic binding now compiles end-to-end (override/restore, and a compiled
fn reading the dynamic var under the binding) in both modes.

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