Add deftype and defeffect to SX type system (Phases 6-7)

Phase 6 — deftype: named type aliases, unions, records, and parameterized
types. Type definitions stored as plain dicts in *type-registry*. Includes
resolve-type for named type resolution, substitute-type-vars for
parameterized instantiation, subtype-resolved? for structural record
subtyping, and infer-type extension for record field type inference via get.

Phase 7 — defeffect: static effect annotations. Effects stored in
*effect-registry* and *effect-annotations*. Supports :effects keyword on
defcomp and define. Gradual: unannotated = all effects, empty list = pure.
check-body-walk validates effect containment at call sites.

Standard types defined: (maybe a), type-def, diagnostic, prim-param-sig.
Standard effects declared: io, mutation, render.

84/84 type system tests pass. Both Python and JS bootstrappers succeed.
