Hintless whole-program double inference (#230)
The closed-world fixpoint (#226) flowed record types across fn boundaries; this
adds a numeric refinement so a hintless fn whose every call site passes a flonum
has its param unboxed to fl-ops, no ^double hint needed.

Lattice gains :double, a flonum refinement of :num: two doubles join to :double,
a double joined with anything else widens to :num — so a param is :double only
when every contributing value is a flonum, which is what makes the fl-op sound.
infer types a flonum literal and flonum arithmetic (+ - * / min max inc dec over
double/int-literal operands) as :double, and the fixpoint joins those across call
sites and return types like any other lattice value.

The bridge to the existing hint-directed pass is a synthetic [param :double]
nhint: wp-infer! stashes the :double params separately from the structural seeds,
and run-passes injects them as nhints before numeric/annotate, so the fl-op
emission and the exact->inexact entry coercion (a no-op on a proven flonum) apply
unchanged.

Sound subset only: :double, never :long — an untyped integer can be a bignum and
fx-ops would overflow/diverge from jolt's arbitrary precision. So an integer
caller leaves a param generic; an escaped fn (unknown callers) keeps :any.

run-numwp.ss gate: cross-fn :double propagation incl. through a flonum-returning
helper, the integer-caller and escape negatives, and the full run-passes path
emitting fl* + entry coercion. make test / shakesmoke green, selfhost holds, 0
new divergences.

"IR optimization passes (nanopass-lite) + the inference/checking
driver. Façade over three weakly-coupled namespaces, loaded with the compiler:
jolt.passes.fold — const-fold (always-on) + the shared const-shape predicate.
jolt.passes.inline — inline + flatten-lets + scalar-replace (direct-link only).
jolt.passes.types — collection-type inference + success-type checking
(RFC 0006) + the inter-procedural driver API.
run-passes (below) is the single entry the back end applies to every analyzed
form. The driver/checker fns the back end looks up by name (check-form,
infer-body, reinfer-def, set-rtenv!, take-diags!, …) are re-exported here via
:refer, so jolt.passes stays the only namespace the back end imports.
Portable Clojure: kernel-tier fns + seed primitives only."
