mk: phase 4A — appendo canary green, both directions
Three coupled fixes plus a new relations module land together because
each is required for the next: appendo can't terminate without all
three.

1. unify.sx — added (:cons h t) tagged cons-cell shape because SX has no
   improper pairs. The unifier treats (:cons h t) and the native list
   (h . t) as equivalent. mk-walk* re-flattens cons cells back to flat
   lists for clean reification.

2. stream.sx — switched mature stream cells from plain SX lists to a
   (:s head tail) tagged shape so a mature head can have a thunk tail.
   With the old representation, mk-mplus had to (cons head thunk) which
   SX rejects (cons requires a list cdr).

3. conde.sx — wraps each clause in Zzz (inverse-eta delay) for laziness.
   Zzz uses (gensym "zzz-s-") for the substitution parameter so it does
   not capture user goals that follow the (l s ls) convention. Without
   gensym, every relation that uses `s` as a list parameter silently
   binds it to the substitution dict.

relations.sx is the new module: nullo, pairo, caro, cdro, conso,
firsto, resto, listo, appendo, membero. 25 new tests.

Canary green:
  (run* q (appendo (list 1 2) (list 3 4) q))
    → ((1 2 3 4))
  (run* q (fresh (l s) (appendo l s (list 1 2 3)) (== q (list l s))))
    → ((() (1 2 3)) ((1) (2 3)) ((1 2) (3)) ((1 2 3) ()))
  (run 3 q (listo q))
    → (() (_.0) (_.0 _.1))

152/152 cumulative.
