DWARF in a redefinition, and one flag that means it everywhere

Emit.redefinition has taken ~debug since it was written and was tested
with it; Session.eval never passed it, so every body installed by C-c C-c
lost its debug info in the running process.

Passing it alone would have been half a fix. Build.shared is what forces
-O0, and dev.ml built modules at -O2, so the llvm.dbg.declares would have
been emitted and then deleted by mem2reg: a line table, and no locals.
And a module with DWARF loaded into a host without it lines up against
nothing. So it is one flag — flan dev --debug and flan reload --debug —
and it sets the host build, the module builds and the emitted metadata
together. Off by default: a debug build is an -O0 build, and quietly
making every reloaded body -O0 changes the frame time of the one function
you are iterating on, in the loop whose point is watching that number.

What a dlopen'd module does to a breakpoint, measured against the reload
fixture rather than reasoned about:

  - lldb reads the new module's DWARF on the dlopen and says so: "1
    location added to breakpoint 3".
  - A breakpoint set by NAME gains a second location either way, so
    dlopen was never the difficulty. What the line table buys is that it
    stops with source instead of disassembly.
  - A FILE AND LINE breakpoint on the new body resolves only with it;
    without, it sits at locations = 0 (pending) forever.
  - A FILE AND LINE breakpoint on the HOST's copy stays pinned at
    locations = 1. That is correct, not stale: the old body is still
    mapped and every call site that has not gone through its cell again
    still reaches it.
  - The stack crosses intact — a frame in the reloaded .so and the one
    below it in the host each name their own .flan file.

    (lldb) frame variable
    (long) step = 10
    (long) prior = 11

The transcripts are in flan-dape.el, replacing the note that said the
module carries no DWARF yet.

flan-cnr.el's stack pane was refusing for the wrong reason. DWARF was
never its gap; nothing is attached to the stopped program, and a socket
cannot read another process's frames. Reworded to say that.

Source interleaving in the disassembly buffer is unblocked and not done:
objdump -dS interleaves a --debug module's Flan source correctly, so
Dev.asm_of needs the -S and a parse_listing that tolerates source lines.

3. **The first ten raylib core examples**, plus the window and input bindings they need. The deliverable is the
*language gap list* as much as the ported files — sand.flan is the only real raylib program today, so this is the
first time the language is pushed by code it was not designed around.
4. **Names in DWARF.** The two items under "One line away" below, promoted here because the inspector and the
conditions buffer are only as good as what lldb can say: let-bound locals print as `s0`, `s2` because `Tast` refers
to them by slot index and `Check` drops the names, and `Session.eval` never passes the `~debug` that
`Emit.redefinition` already takes and is already tested for. The second also unblocks source interleaving in the
disassembly buffer.
4. **Names in DWARF.** *Done.* `Tast.fn` carries `snames` beside `slots`, so a let-bound local is its own name under
lldb instead of `s0`; a slot the compiler invented keeps `s<index>`, because a synthesized slot has no source name
and inventing one puts a variable in the debugger that is not in the file. Shadowing had to be decided rather than
assumed: every `!DILocalVariable` is scoped to the subprogram — the typed IR has no block structure to build a
`!DILexicalBlock` from — so two slots called `v` left lldb answering `p v` with the outer one while the body computed
with the inner, and not listing the inner at all. A repeat now gets a `~2` suffix, which is unambiguous because `~`
cannot occur in a source symbol. That is a way of not lying, not a way of being right; the real fix is a lexical
block per `Let` and the `llvm.dbg.declare`s moved out of the entry block, and it is the one thing left here.
**DWARF is not missing, and `flan-cnr.el`'s stack pane reads as though it were.** `flan build --debug` emits it and
`flan-dape.el` drives lldb with it. What the break loop lacks is DWARF *in a dev build* — a `flan dev` process is not a
`--debug` one. Worth rewording that refusal so it names the real gap.
And `flan dev --debug` now builds the host *and* every redefinition module with DWARF. One flag, because it is one
decision — measured, not reasoned: a line breakpoint needs a line table on the host to fire before the first
`C-c C-c` and one in each module to still be firing after. Off by default, because a debug build is an `-O0` build
and silently making every reloaded body `-O0` changes the frame time of the function being iterated on.
**What a dlopen'd redefinition module does to a breakpoint, measured.** lldb picks the new module's DWARF up on the
`dlopen` and says so — "1 location added to breakpoint 3". A breakpoint set by *name* gains a second location either
way, so dlopen was never the difficulty; what the module's line table buys is that it stops with **source** rather than
disassembly, and that a *file and line* breakpoint on the new body resolves at all — it sits at `locations = 0
(pending)` forever without one. A file-and-line breakpoint on the **host's** copy stays pinned at `locations = 1`, which
is correct rather than stale: the old body is still mapped and every call site that has not gone through its cell again
still reaches it. The stack crosses the boundary intact — a frame in the reloaded `.so` and the frame below it in the
host each name their own `.flan` file. The transcripts are in `emacs/flan-dape.el`, under "Reloading and breakpoints".
**Source interleaving in the disassembly buffer is unblocked, and not done.** `Dev.asm_of` runs `objdump -d`; with a
`--debug` module `objdump -dS` interleaves the Flan source correctly (verified). What it needs is the `-S` and a
`parse_listing` that tolerates source lines among the instructions.
**`flan-cnr.el`'s stack pane was refusing for the wrong reason** and now names the real one. DWARF was never the gap:
what is missing is anything *attached* to the stopped program. That buffer reaches it over the daemon's socket, and a
socket cannot read another process's frames — the break loop stopped itself, it is not being debugged. It wants either
an unwinder in the agent or lldb on the same pid.
