wcc: case T => variant validity check (C + selfhost)

`match (u) { case T => ... }` where T isn't a variant of u was
silently accepted by both checkers. The cgen would emit a tag
comparison against an index that never appears, leaving the arm
unreachable — wasted code that's almost always a bug or typo.

C check.c now mirrors the existing is/as rule for match arms:
each `case T` and each alt of multi-pattern `case T1 | T2` is
checked against the scrutinee's variant list via variant_present.

selfhost check.ww gets the same shape with AST-level type_eq_ast
comparison. Both checks land in the same scope-aware pass that
already runs exhaustiveness and ? subset.

New test rows in 300_check (C side) and 950_selfcheck (selfhost
side) exercise both single-pattern and multi-pattern alt typos.
The 950 driver's err_present detector picks up the new
"case: not a variant" prefix.
