mk: subseto — every element of l1 is in l2

Recursive: empty l1 trivially holds; otherwise the head is in l2 (via
membero) and the tail is a subset. Duplicates in l1 are allowed since
each is independently checked.

+- **2026-05-08** — **subseto**: every element of l1 is a member of l2. Recurses on l1, checking each element via membero. Allows duplicates in l1 (each independently in l2). 7 new tests, 456/456 cumulative.
 - **2026-05-08** — **cycle-free path search**: mitigation for the cyclic-graph divergence — thread a  accumulator through the recursion, gate each step with nafc + membero on visited. Terminates on graphs with cycles; no Phase-7 tabling required for the simple case. 3 new tests, 449/449 cumulative.
 - **2026-05-08** — **removeo-allo**: removes every occurrence of x (vs rembero, which removes only the first). Three conde clauses: empty -> empty; head matches -> skip and recurse; head differs (nafc) -> keep and recurse. 5 new tests, 446/446 cumulative.
 - **2026-05-08** — **btree-walko (matche showcase)**: walks a binary tree (:leaf v) | (:node l r) and emits each leaf value via conde. Demonstrates matche dispatch on tagged-list patterns, recursion through both branches via conde, and run* enumerating all 5 leaves of a small tree. 4 new tests, 441/441 cumulative.
