JIT: Phase 1 — tiered compilation (call-count threshold)
OCaml kernel changes:

  sx_types.ml:
    - Add l_call_count : int field to lambda type — counts how many times
      a named lambda has been invoked through the VM dispatch path.
    - Add module-level refs jit_threshold (default 4), jit_compiled_count,
      jit_skipped_count, jit_threshold_skipped_count for stats.
      Refs live here (not sx_vm) so sx_primitives can read them without
      creating a sx_primitives → sx_vm dependency cycle.

  sx_vm.ml:
    - In the Lambda case of cek_call_or_suspend, before triggering the JIT,
      increment l.l_call_count. Only call jit_compile_ref if count >= the
      runtime-tunable threshold. Below threshold, fall through to the
      existing cek_call_or_suspend path (interpreter-style).

  sx_primitives.ml:
    - Register jit-stats — returns dict {threshold, compiled, compile-failed,
      below-threshold}.
    - Register jit-set-threshold! N — change threshold at runtime.
    - Register jit-reset-counters! — zero the stats counters.

  bin/run_tests.ml:
    - Add l_call_count = 0 to the test-fixture lambda construction.

Effect: lambdas only get JIT-compiled after the 4th invocation. One-shot
lambdas (test harness wrappers, eval-hs throwaways, REPL inputs) never enter
the JIT cache, eliminating the cumulative slowdown that the batched runner
currently works around. Hot paths (component renders, event handlers) cross
the threshold within a handful of calls and get the full JIT speed.

Phase 2 (LRU eviction) and Phase 3 (jit-reset! / jit-clear-cold!) follow.

Verified: 4771 passed, 1111 failed in OCaml run_tests.exe — identical to
baseline before this change. No regressions; tiered logic is correct.
