giles 06666ac8c4 Decouple core evaluator from web platform, extract libraries
The core evaluator (spec/evaluator.sx) is now the irreducible computational
core with zero web, rendering, or type-system knowledge. 2531 → 2313 lines.

- Add extensible special form registry (*custom-special-forms* + register-special-form!)
- Add render dispatch hooks (*render-check* / *render-fn*) replacing hardcoded render-active?/is-render-expr?/render-expr
- Extract freeze scopes → spec/freeze.sx (library, not core)
- Extract content addressing → spec/content.sx (library, not core)
- Move sf-deftype/sf-defeffect → spec/types.sx (self-registering)
- Move sf-defstyle → web/forms.sx (self-registering with all web forms)
- Move web tests (defpage, streaming) → web/tests/test-forms.sx
- Add is-else-clause? helper (replaces 5 inline patterns)
- Make escape-html/escape-attr library functions in render.sx (pure SX, not platform-provided)
- Add foundations plan: Step 3.5 (data representations), Step 3.7 (verified components), OCaml for Step 4d
- Update all three bootstrappers (JS 957/957, Python 744/744, OCaml 952/952)

Bootstrap compiler: SX spec -> OCaml.
Loads the SX-to-OCaml transpiler (transpiler.sx), feeds it the spec files,
and produces sx_ref.ml — the transpiled evaluator as native OCaml.
Usage:
python3 hosts/ocaml/bootstrap.py --output hosts/ocaml/lib/sx_ref.ml
