giles 5ca2ee92bc VM auto-compile infrastructure + disable until compiler is complete
Added vm-compile command: iterates env, compiles lambdas to bytecode,
replaces with NativeFn VM wrappers (with CEK fallback on error).
Tested: 3/109 compile, reduces CEK steps 23%.

Disabled auto-compile in production — the compiler doesn't handle
closures with upvalues yet, and compiled functions that reference
dynamic env vars crash. Infrastructure stays for when compiler
handles all SX features.

Also: added set-nth! and mutable-list primitives (needed by
compiler.sx for bytecode patching). Fixed compiler.sx to use
mutable lists on OCaml (ListRef for append!/set-nth! mutation).
