Extend the shared driver's MODE=counters with a backward-compatible SUITES
format: name:file[:pass-var:fail-var[:extra-preload ...]]. Optional per-suite
counter symbols (override the global COUNTERS_PASS/COUNTERS_FAIL) and per-suite
preload chains (loaded after the global PRELOADS). Plain name:file entries are
unchanged — verified against haskell (fib/sieve/quicksort 2/2/5, matches
committed scoreboard).
common-lisp has 8 distinct per-suite counter pairs and a different preload
chain per suite, so it could not fit the single-counter/fixed-preload model;
the extended format expresses it directly. conformance.conf keeps the historical
scoreboard schema; conformance.sh becomes the 3-line shim.
Result 487/487 (0 fail) vs the old 305/0 baseline — higher and explained: the
old per-suite 'timeout 30' was too tight for the slow eval suite (~15-25s under
contention), silently recording it as 0; the driver's 180s budget recovers its
true 182. geometry/mop-trace stay 0/0 (pre-existing refl-class-chain-depth-with
load error; counter vars defined as 0 -> clean gc-result, no fail-fallback).
