Joseph Ferano 0e88954664 The link follows the program, not the import list
A package handed over its .c files and its `link` arguments the moment it was
imported, whatever the importing program did with it. That is what made sand's
two halves two files: anything naming vendor:raylib linked libraylib on every
target, and on wasm32 that link cannot succeed, so the headless run could not
so much as mention the package the interactive one needs.

Reach.link answers it from the checked program instead. Start at main and at
the globals that run before it, follow every call — including the Handled
frames, where a lifted handler clause is reached by address and by nothing
else — and keep what is reached. A package none of whose externs survive
contributes no C and no linker argument.

Dropping the flags alone would only move the failure: the bodies that called
into raylib would still be emitted, and wasm-ld would fail on the symbols
rather than on the argument. So the same walk prunes the functions and externs
too. Only those — globals, structs and unions stay, because an unreferenced
global is bytes in BSS and a dropped one is a silently different program.

Dev builds keep everything. What a REPL may redefine next is not a function of
what has been called so far.

(** What a program actually calls, and what that means for the link.
A package is imported as a whole — every declaration in the directory
becomes a declaration of the importing program — and until now the C it
binds to came with it unconditionally. So importing [vendor:raylib] linked
libraylib whatever [main] did, and on wasm32 that link cannot succeed. That
is the single fact that made sand's two halves two *files* rather than two
entry points, and it is what this module removes.
The answer is reachability, computed once on the checked program: start at
[main] and at every global initialiser, follow every call, and keep what is
reached. Two things fall out of the same walk:
- a package none of whose externs is reached contributes no [.c] file and
no linker argument, and
- the functions that would have referenced those externs are dropped from
the program, because removing [-lraylib] while still emitting a body that
calls [@InitWindow] only moves the failure from the linker's argument
list to its symbol table.
Only [fns] and [externs] are pruned. Globals, structs and unions stay:
a dropped function is a loud link error, a dropped global would be a
silently different program, and an unreferenced global is bytes in BSS that
cost nothing. A [defvar brush rl/Texture2D] in a headless build is exactly
that.
Dev builds are not pruned at all. A REPL redefines a function that the
running program has not called yet, so "not reached" there means "not
reached *so far*", which is not the same claim. *)
(* The edges. [Call] and [Global] are the obvious ones; [Handled] is the one
worth naming, because a handler-bind clause was lifted into a function of
its own and is reached by *address* from the body that wrote it, never by a
call. Miss it and a program with a handler loses the handler. *)
