Bytecode modules are now serialized as s-expressions (.sxbc) in addition
to JSON (.sxbc.json). The .sxbc format is the canonical representation —
content-addressable, parseable by the SX parser, and suitable for CID
referencing. Annotation layers (source maps, variable names, tests, docs)
can reference the bytecode CID without polluting the bytecode itself.
Format: (sxbc version hash (code :arity N :bytecode (...) :constants (...)))
The browser loader tries .sxbc first (via load-sxbc kernel primitive),
falls back to .sxbc.json. Caddy needs .sxbc MIME type to serve the new
format (currently 404s, JSON fallback works).

- sx_browser.ml: add api_load_module (execute pre-compiled bytecode on VM,
copy defines back to env) and api_compile_module (compile SX source to
bytecode via compile-module function)
- compile-modules.js: Node.js build tool that loads the js_of_ocaml kernel,
compiles all 23 .sx platform files to bytecode, writes .sxbc.json files
- Serialization format: type-tagged JSON constants (s/n/b/nil/sym/kw/list/code)
with nested code objects for lambda closures
All 23 files compile successfully (430K total bytecode JSON).
Next: wire up sx-platform.js to load bytecode instead of source.
