Hojun-Cho d9345555c0 rt: bump-over-mmap allocator (rt_segmalloc + rt_free no-op)
rt_malloc was a bare mmap-per-call wrapper: every allocation, even a
32-72B AST/symbol node, consumed a page-rounded 4KB region and was
never freed. w6a/w6c emit ~4 such nodes per .s line, so assembling a
145K-line file burned ~625K pages (~2.5GB); test 995's 5 concurrent
self-rebuilds then OOM'd. The defect is linear and str-independent --
the str->24B codegen merely enlarged .s files past the cliff.

Replace it with the no-free SUBSET of Hare's allocator
(ref/hare/rt/malloc.ha): 2MiB chunk-bump (CHUNKSZ malloc.ha:24, ALIGN
malloc.ha:14), oversized (>CHUNKSZ) requests direct-mmap'd. The
bin/freelist/META machinery exists only to support free, which ww does
not have, so it is omitted. Policy lives in rt/malloc.ww; the raw mmap
primitive stays in rt/alloc.s as rt_segmalloc -- Hare's malloc/segmalloc
split.

rt_free becomes a documented no-op (os.free re-exports it for the public
API, so the symbol must stay); rt/ensure.ww drops its now-impossible
reclaim. Zero-init is preserved: the bump never reuses memory, so every
byte is fresh MAP_ANONYMOUS-zeroed.

w6a_ww on a 145K-line .s: 2165MB -> 28MB (~glibc parity, C w6a 24MB).
.o output byte-identical; both stages emit identical asm. make test
134/134.

// rt/alloc.s raw page primitive via the mmap syscall.
//
// rt_segmalloc(n: u64) returns a *void aligned at a page boundary, sized
// to the next page multiple. It is the primitive under rt/malloc.ww's
// bump allocator (renamed from rt_malloc, task #8) callers use the
// bump rt_malloc, not this directly.
//
// We pin to PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE and MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS so
// callers never have to plumb file descriptors through.
//
// On mmap failure the raw syscall returns -errno (negative); we map
// that to 0 so the bump allocator's null-check (and the alloc builtin's
// `!`/`?` lowering, task #30) sees a clean nil.
