Hojun-Cho 97eb1fe20d w6c+selfhost: slice globals — 24B DATAW + (AX,BX,CX) load
Extend top-level mutable `let` to cover slices. Same shape as the
str work, with one more 8-byte field and the address holder CX
overwritten by the cap as the last load step:

  - emit_lets / emitletdataw: 24-byte zero DATAW for `let v: []u8;`
    (and the trivial `nil` init); no slice-literal syntax exists
    so the no-init path is the only supported shape;
  - cgident: LEAQ name(SB), CX → MOVQ (CX), AX → MOVQ 8(CX), BX →
    MOVQ 16(CX), CX, so the slice ABI triple lands in (AX, BX, CX);
  - cgdot: .cap delta 16 wired alongside .ptr / .len through the
    same &name(SB) base.

Slice reassignment (`v = some_slice;`) is still unsupported — slice
values don't yet flow as a full (AX, BX, CX) triple through general
expressions even for locals — so reads/`&` are the supported surface
today. Manual fill through `(&v): *u64` continues to work.

Tests 630 (10/10), 990, 994, 995 stay green; bootstrap fixed point
holds.
