datalog: dl-magic-query pre-saturates for aggregate correctness
dl-magic-query could silently diverge from dl-query when an
aggregate's inner-goal relation was IDB. The rewriter passes
aggregate body lits through unchanged (no magic propagation
generated for them), so the inner relation was empty in the magic
db and the aggregate returned 0. Repro:

  (dl-eval-magic
    "u(a). u(b). u(c). u(d). banned(b). banned(d).
     active(X) :- u(X), not(banned(X)).
     n(N) :- count(N, X, active(X))."
    "?- n(N).")
  => ({:N 0})   ; should be ({:N 2})

dl-magic-query now pre-saturates the source db before copying facts
into the magic db. This guarantees equivalence with dl-query for
every stratified program; the magic benefit still comes from
goal-directed re-derivation of the query relation under the seed
(which matters for large recursive joins). The existing test cases
happened to dodge this because their aggregate inner-goals were all
EDB.

1 new regression test; conformance 274/274.

;; lib/datalog/magic.sx — adornment analysis + sideways info passing.
;;
;; First step of the magic-sets transformation (Phase 6). Right now
;; the saturator does not consume these — they are introspection
;; helpers that future magic-set rewriting will build on top of.
;;
;; Definitions:
;; - An *adornment* of an n-ary literal is an n-character string
;; of "b" (bound — value already known at the call site) and
;; "f" (free — to be derived).
;; - SIPS (Sideways Information Passing Strategy) walks the body
;; of an adorned rule left-to-right tracking which variables
;; have been bound so far, computing each body literal's
;; adornment in turn.
;;
;; Usage:
;;
;; (dl-adorn-goal '(ancestor tom X))
;; => "bf"
;;
;; (dl-rule-sips
;; {:head (ancestor X Z)
;; :body ((parent X Y) (ancestor Y Z))}
;; "bf")
;; => ({:lit (parent X Y) :adornment "bf"}
;; {:lit (ancestor Y Z) :adornment "bf"})
