Yogthos 4018eb87ed Const-link stable vars under whole-program; direct-link cfunction roots
direct-var? now treats a cfunction root the same as a function root, so a
call/ref to a native fn (clojure.math/sqrt et al.) embeds the value instead of
a per-call cell deref. This was the hot indirection in the ray tracer — sqrt
runs every bounce — and it applies in every direct-link build, not just
whole-program.

const-link? is new and whole-program-only: in a closed world every non-dynamic
var has a stable root, so embed it as a constant (quoted unless it's already
callable) rather than reading the cell each reference. Covers what direct-var?
can't — ^:redef vars (reloading is off under the flag), data defs, and record
type/ctor roots. Dynamic vars stay indirect; a nil (not-yet-defined) root stays
indirect and the whole-program re-emit picks it up once the root is in place.

Measured on the records ray tracer: hot-path indirect refs (sqrt + data vars)
gone; the only indirect refs left are cold defrecord self-references. whole-
program-test now also checks a ^:redef fn and a data def so the per-ns vs
whole-program comparison guards const-link soundness.
