feat(lang): L6 namespaces declared in Ludic - alias

Browse source 
`alias meth(labels) = target` in a namespace block makes Ns.meth a call to
target with those labels (the target's own parameter names without a list). The
engine's 41 table-driven namespaces - 438 methods: Http, Udp, Process, Json,
Value, Screen, Input, Audio, World, Tiled, ... - leave emit_ns_call for
runtime/native/namespaces.ludic, spliced into every program; 532 lines of
compiler go and the seed shrinks by 23k lines of IR. The game's IR is byte
identical. The checker checks an alias call's arguments against its target.
Still built in: the inline namespaces (Math, Text, List, Vector, Color, Time,
Date, ...) and the methods that pick a target by argument type.

## Package-declarable namespaces and engine systems (issue #62)
A package's namespace can also be an `alias` block (L6): `namespace Weapon { alias fire(slot) =
wp_fire_slot }` names each method and the function it calls, with its own labels, so the public
names need not be the implementation's. The engine's own `Http.*`, `Json.*`, `Screen.*` and the
rest are declared exactly this way, in `runtime/native/namespaces.ludic`.
A package can register two things that used to be compiler-hardcoded — a `Foo.*`
namespace and an engine-owned system — with **no compiler edit**, via two
keyword-free annotations. This is what lets gameplay-controller libraries ship as
