js-on-sx: TypeError-on-not-callable uses type-of, not (str fn-val)

Formatting wrapper dicts with (str fn-val) recursively walks the
proto chain through SX inspect — for String/Number wrappers whose
prototype contains lambdas this hangs. Switched the message to
(type-of fn-val), e.g. "dict is not a function". Less specific
but always terminates.
built-ins/String: 73/99 → 75/99 (canonical). conformance.sh:
148/148.

+- 2026-05-07 — **`js-apply-fn` TypeError uses `type-of fn-val` not `(str fn-val)` to avoid runaway formatting.** Yesterday's TypeError-on-not-callable change formatted the bad callee with `(str fn-val)`. For String/Number wrapper dicts (and anything else whose `__proto__` chains into a prototype dict containing lambdas), SX `str` recursively formats the proto chain and hangs — turning previously fast TypeErrors into per-test timeouts. Switched to `(type-of fn-val)` (e.g. "dict is not a function"). Less specific but always terminates. built-ins/String: 73/99 → 75/99 (canonical). conformance.sh: 148/148.

 - 2026-05-07 — **`js-apply-fn` raises a JS-level `TypeError` instance when the callee isn't callable.** Calling a non-callable (`'a'()`, `(1+2)()`, etc.) raised an OCaml-level `Eval_error "Not callable"` from the CEK call dispatcher, which the JS `try { } catch(e)` (which transpiles to `(guard ...)`) couldn't intercept. Added a `(js-function? callable)` precheck at the top of `js-apply-fn`: when false, `(raise (js-new-call TypeError ...))` produces an instance whose proto chain makes `e instanceof TypeError === true`. Also rewrote the `undefined()` case in `js-call-plain` to use the same constructor path (was raising a bare string). built-ins/String: 71/99 → 73/99 (canonical), 74/99 → 75/99 (isolated). conformance.sh: 148/148.
 
 - 2026-05-07 — **`js-dict-get-walk` falls back to `Object.prototype` when an object has no `__proto__`.** Object literals (`{}`, `{a:1}`) didn't carry a `__proto__` link, so `({}).toString()` couldn't find `Object.prototype.toString` — and overriding `Object.prototype.toString` had no effect on plain objects. Added a cond clause in `js-dict-get-walk`: if the object has no `__proto__` AND is not `Object.prototype` itself, walk into `Object.prototype`. Termination guaranteed because Object.prototype is the recursion base case. Now `({}).toString() === "[object Object]"`, override of `Object.prototype.toString` propagates to plain objects, and `({a:1}).hasOwnProperty('a') === true`. built-ins/String: 69/99 → 71/99 (canonical), 71/99 → 74/99 (isolated). conformance.sh: 148/148.
