w6c+wwstage: struct-array-field slice as call-arg via dotbaseaddr (#257)

An inline slice of a struct `[N]T`-field passed DIRECTLY as a call
argument (`rd(x.o[lo:hi])`) materialized the slice .ptr from the field
VALUE, not its ADDRESS: the pushargs/pushargsrev N_SLICE inline builder's
non-ident else-arm did plain cgexpr(base), so the N_DOT field auto-derefs
(MOVL field,AX used as .ptr) -> callee derefs garbage -> SEGFAULT. The
let-init / assign-rhs / return / hoist-to-local contexts already routed
through the cgslice #252 choke-point; only this call-arg builder kept a
private duplicate. cs==ww both segfaulted identically pre-fix (gate-blind).

Fix (symmetric both stages):
  - route the else-arm through cg_dotbase_addr / dotbaseaddr (the cgslice
    #252 choke-point: array-field-gated, so `[]T`/str/`*T` fields fall
    through to cgexpr; chained inner `o.p.m` handled via its #253 arm);
  - extend the N_IDENT-only esz gate to N_DOT bases, taking the element
    width from the checker-stamped base->type (rule-13 type table), so
    non-u8 call-arg slices scale stride.

Before: `MOVL -8(BP),AX; PUSHQ AX` (field value as .ptr). After:
`LEAQ -8(BP),AX; PUSHQ AX` (field address). cs==ww byte-identical.

Helper note: used dotbaseaddr (not dotchainaddr as first scoped) — it is
the established cgslice choke-point and is array-field-gated, so a slice/
str-typed field base keeps the correct cgexpr header-ptr load; bare
dotchainaddr lacks that gate and would mis-emit the field address for
those. dotbaseaddr already handles the chained `o.p.m` inner via #253.

Tests: test/wcc/949 gains 6 call-arg rows (u8, i32-esz-stride, via-*struct,
chained, + hoist-to-local and bare-local-array controls), each run-
correctness AND cs==ww byte-id.

PROOF-GREP residual: the tagged-union-element indexed-STORE arm
(cgen.c:~4972 / cgenexpr.ww:~5024) is the same N_DOT-base auto-deref shape,
still unrouted in BOTH stages (symmetric, segfaults) — a distinct
consumption axis filed separately; NOT fixed here.
