mk: 2x2 Latin square — small classic FD constraint demo

Defines latin-2x2 over 4 cells and 4 all-distincto constraints. Enumerates
exactly 2 squares ((1 2)(2 1)) and ((2 1)(1 2)); a corner clue narrows to
one. 3 new tests, 269/269 cumulative.

3x3 (12 squares, the natural showcase) is too slow under naive enumerate-
then-filter — that is the motivating test for Phase 6 arc-consistency.

   rembero removes the first occurrence (uses `nafc (== a x)` to gate the
   skip clause, so it's well-defined on ground lists). assoco is alist
