giles 1bb40415a8 VM upvalue support: closures capture variables from enclosing scopes
Compiler (compiler.sx):
- Function scopes marked is-function=true; let scopes share parent frame
- scope-resolve only creates upvalue captures at function boundaries
- Let scope locals use parent's slot numbering (same frame)
- OP_CLOSURE emits upvalue descriptors: (is_local, index) per capture

VM (sx_vm.ml):
- upvalue_cell type: shared mutable reference to captured value
- OP_UPVALUE_GET/SET: read/write from closure's upvalue array
- OP_CLOSURE: reads upvalue descriptors, creates cells from
  enclosing frame's locals (is_local=1) or upvalues (is_local=0)
- vm_closure carries live env_ref (not snapshot)
- vm_call falls back to CEK for Lambda/Component/Island values

Verified: (let ((x 10)) (let ((add-x (fn (y) (+ x y)))) (add-x 5)))
  Compiles to: CONST 10, LOC_SET #0, CLOSURE [UV_GET#0 LOC_GET#0 CPRIM+ RET]
  with upvalue descriptor: is_local=1 index=0
  VM executes → 15 ✓

Auto-compile: 6/117 functions compile (up from 3). Disabled until
compiler handles all features — fallback can't reconstruct closure
scope for variables like nav-state bound in caller's let*.
