datalog: SX-data embedding API (Phase 9, 143/143)
New lib/datalog/api.sx: dl-program-data facts rules takes SX data
lists. Rules accept either dict form or list form using <- as the
rule arrow (since SX parses :- as a keyword). dl-rule constructor
for the dict shape. dl-assert! adds a fact and re-saturates;
dl-retract! drops EDB matches, wipes all rule-headed IDB
relations, and re-saturates from scratch — simplest correct
semantics until provenance tracking arrives.

9 API tests cover ancestor closure via data, dict-rule form,
dl-rule constructor, incremental assert/retract, cyclic-graph
reach, assert into empty, fact-style rule (no arrow), dict
passthrough.

;; lib/datalog/api.sx — SX-data embedding API.
;;
;; Where Phase 1's `dl-program` takes a Datalog source string,
;; this module exposes a parser-free API that consumes SX data
;; directly. Two rule shapes are accepted:
;;
;; - dict: {:head <literal> :body (<literal> ...)}
;; - list: (<head-elements...> <- <body-literal> ...)
;; — `<-` is an SX symbol used as the rule arrow.
;;
;; Examples:
;;
;; (dl-program-data
;; '((parent tom bob) (parent tom liz) (parent bob ann))
;; '((ancestor X Y <- (parent X Y))
;; (ancestor X Z <- (parent X Y) (ancestor Y Z))))
;;
;; (dl-query db '(ancestor tom X)) ; same query API as before
;;
;; Variables follow the parser convention: SX symbols whose first
;; character is uppercase or `_` are variables.
