Compiler: cond, case, thread-first, defcomp, quasiquote, letrec

Added compilation for all remaining special forms:
  - cond: nested JUMP_IF_FALSE chains
  - case: desugar to DUP + equality checks
  - ->: desugar to nested function calls
  - defcomp/defisland/defmacro: delegate to runtime primitives
  - quasiquote: delegate to runtime qq-expand
  - letrec: compiled as let (same scope)
  - All def* forms: compiled as no-op (handled by page loader)

Also: concat, slice, make-symbol primitives for compiler support.

All test patterns compile:
  (cond ...) → 52 bytes, (case ...) → 8 bytes,
  (-> ...) → 28 bytes, nested let+cond → 37 bytes
