apl: right-to-left parser + 44 tests (Phase 1, step 2)

Implement lib/apl/parser.sx — APL expression parser:
- Segment-based algorithm: scan L→R collecting {fn,val} segments
- build-tree constructs AST with leftmost-fn = root (right-to-left semantics)
- Handles: monadic/dyadic fns, strands (:vec), assignment (:assign)
- Operators: derived-fn (:derived-fn op fn), inner product (:derived-fn2)
- Outer product ∘.f (:outer), dfns {:dfn stmt...}, guards (:guard cond expr)
- split-statements is bracket-aware (depth tracking prevents splitting inside {})

44 new parser tests + 46 existing tokenizer = 90/90 green.

+; APL Parser — right-to-left expression parser
+;
+; Takes a token list (output of apl-tokenize) and produces an AST.
+; APL evaluates right-to-left with no precedence among functions.
+; Operators bind to the function immediately to their left in the source.
+;
+; AST node types:
+;   (:num n)                     number literal
+;   (:str s)                     string literal
+;   (:vec n1 n2 ...)             strand (juxtaposed literals)
+;   (:name "x")                  name reference / alpha / omega
+;   (:assign "x" expr)           assignment  x←expr
+;   (:monad fn arg)              monadic function call
+;   (:dyad fn left right)        dyadic function call
+;   (:derived-fn op fn)          derived function: f/ f¨ f⍨
+;   (:derived-fn2 "." f g)       inner product: f.g
+;   (:outer "∘." fn)             outer product: ∘.f
+;   (:fn-glyph "⍳")             function reference
+;   (:fn-name "foo")             named-function reference (dfn variable)
+;   (:dfn stmt...)               {⍺+⍵} anonymous function
+;   (:guard cond expr)           cond:expr guard inside dfn
+;   (:program stmt...)           multi-statement sequence
