Yogthos c91b6092bc ffi: foreign-callable — receive callbacks from C
jolt could call C (foreign-fn -> foreign-procedure) but C could not call back
into jolt, which GTK signals (and any callback-taking C API) require. Add the
inverse: jolt.ffi/foreign-callable wraps a jolt fn as a C-callable function
pointer, mirroring the foreign-fn pipeline.

A new jolt.ffi/__ccallable special form carries the fn as a child expression
(analyzed + walked by the passes; ir.clj gains an :ffi-callable arm in both
child walks) plus literal arg/ret type keywords. The back end lowers it to a
locked Chez foreign-callable and returns its entry-point address as a jolt
pointer; host/chez/ffi.ss registers the code object so the collector keeps it,
and free-callable unlocks it. :collect-safe emits the convention that
reactivates the thread on entry, for callbacks fired while it is parked in a
:blocking call (a GTK main loop).

Test: ffi-binding-test.ss sorts an int array through libc qsort with a jolt
comparator (C -> jolt -> C). Re-minted seed.
