JIT compilation on first call to many functions incurs a step cost of
200–600k CEK steps. The 200k default was silently failing ~70 tests
across suites like hs-upstream-default, hs-upstream-on, comparisonOp,
and others that work correctly but need JIT warmup headroom. Raising
to 1M reveals all of these as passing. The hypertrace/repeat-forever
tests that are genuinely unbounded remain in _NO_STEP_LIMIT.
Full suite scan (all ranges) now shows 1475/1496 (21 pre-existing
SKIP/untranslated failures, 0 actual failures).
