Spike: localize the mandelbrot 15x floor (jolt-5vsp) (#143)
The jolt-vs-hand-Janet-vs-JVM mandelbrot comparison splits the 15.4x floor
into two layers: a Janet-VM floor (~10.8x JVM, optimal while-loop Janet over
unboxed doubles — only native codegen moves it) plus a ~1.43x jolt loop-
lowering overhead on top. The overhead is entirely the loop/recur -> recursive-
closure-called-per-iteration lowering; hand-Janet written the same way matches
jolt, while a while+var/set version is 1.43x faster. So a cheap backend win
(jolt-v28u) sits above the structural native-codegen lever.

Adds the spike artifacts under bench/ and the results writeup; marks the spike
done in the handoff. No source changes.
