Wire adapter-html.sx into OCaml server, replacing hand-written renderer

sx_server.ml: sx_render_to_html() calls the SX adapter-html.sx render-to-html
via CEK eval, falling back to Sx_render.render_to_html if adapter not loaded.
CLI --render mode now loads render.sx + adapter-html.sx.

sx_primitives.ml: Added ~25 primitives needed by adapter-html.sx:
  scope-push!/pop!/peek/emit!, emitted, provide-push!/pop! (hashtable stack),
  lambda?/island?/component?/macro?, component-closure/name/params/body/
  has-children?, lambda-closure/params/body, is-else-clause?, for-each-indexed,
  empty-dict?, make-raw-html, raw-html-content

run_tests.ml: Loads render.sx + adapter-html.sx for test-render-html.sx.
Registers trampoline, eval-expr, scope stubs, expand-macro, cond-scheme?.

Status: 1105/1114 OCaml tests pass. 8 remaining failures are env-merge
edge cases in render-lambda-html/component-children/island rendering —
same adapter code works in JS (143/143).
