Hojun-Cho 6f9a964a79 w6c,w6l: write diagnostics via str .len (fix off-by-one hand-counts) ...

The argv-error diagnostics in w6c/main.ww (7 sites) and w6l/main.ww
(13 literal sites) passed hand-counted byte lengths to os.write that
were systematically short by one — every length dropped the final
byte (usually '\n'; "w6l: cannot find -l" dropped the 'l'), so the
diagnostics printed truncated. Replace each magic length with the
string's own .len, which both fixes the off-by-one and closes the
hand-count class by construction.

Uses the local-binding idiom (let m: str = "..."; os.write(2, m.ptr,
m.len: u64);) — the established wcc/err.ww pattern — rather than
"literal".len directly: string-literal .len is miscompiled on cstage
(returns the pointer, not the length; cstage != wwstage), filed as
#14. str-variable .len is correct on both stages, so this is byte-
identical cs==ww and independent of #14. The w6l runtime cstr write
(os.write(2, nm, cstrlen(nm))) is unchanged.
