giles eb4233ff36 Add inline VM opcodes for hot primitives (OP_ADD through OP_DEC)
16 new opcodes (160-175) bypass the CALL_PRIM hashtable lookup for
the most frequently called primitives:

  Arithmetic: OP_ADD, OP_SUB, OP_MUL, OP_DIV, OP_INC, OP_DEC, OP_NEG
  Comparison: OP_EQ, OP_LT, OP_GT, OP_NOT
  Collection: OP_LEN, OP_FIRST, OP_REST, OP_NTH, OP_CONS

The compiler (compiler.sx) recognizes these names at compile time and
emits the inline opcode instead of CALL_PRIM. The opcode is self-
contained — no constant pool index, no argc byte. Each primitive is
a single byte in the bytecode stream.

Implementation in all three VMs:
- OCaml (sx_vm.ml): direct pattern match, no allocation
- SX spec (vm.sx): delegates to existing primitives
- JS (transpiled): same as SX spec

66 new tests in spec/tests/vm-inline.sx covering arithmetic, comparison,
collection ops, composition, and edge cases.

Tests: 1314 JS (full), 1114 OCaml, 32 Playwright

;; ==========================================================================
;; bytecode.sx — SX bytecode format definition
;;
;; Universal bytecode for SX evaluation. Produced by compiler.sx,
;; executed by platform-native VMs (OCaml, JS, WASM).
;;
;; Design principles:
;; - One byte per opcode (~65 ops, fits in u8)
;; - Variable-length encoding (1-5 bytes per instruction)
;; - Lexical scope resolved at compile time (no hash lookups)
;; - Tail calls detected statically (no thunks/trampoline)
;; - Control flow via jumps (no continuation frames for if/when/etc.)
;; - Content-addressable (deterministic binary for CID)
