kernel: apply combinator + 7 tests [shapes-reflective]

(apply F (list V1 V2 V3)) ≡ (F V1 V2 V3). Unwrap applicative first to
skip auto-eval (args are values), then kernel-combine with the
underlying operative. Universal pattern in reflective Lisps —
sketched into the combiner.sx API. 296 tests total.
