feat(cli): install in one command, and call the CLI ludic

Getting started meant cloning the repository, bootstrapping a compiler and
learning a task runner called `x`. That is a contributor's workflow handed to
everyone who wants to try the language.

Installing is now one command:

    curl -fsSL https://workshopsoft.pages.workshopsoft.io/ludic/install.sh | sh

install.sh puts a complete toolchain — compiler, CLI, engine runtime, bundled
ludic.* packages, formatter, language server — in ~/.ludic and adds it to PATH.
Prebuilt artifacts are checksum-verified; where a platform has none, or the
release predates this layout, it bootstraps from the compiler's own IR seed with
clang. The docs site publishes the script beside the pages that quote it, so the
page and the script can never come from different releases.

`x` becomes `ludic`, and the surface splits by audience. A user of the language
sees `new`, `run`, `build`, `test`, `add`, `fmt`, `lsp`, `doctor`, `upgrade`;
`ludic new` scaffolds a project that builds and plays as it stands. Everything
the toolchain repo needs moved under `ludic dev` — build, test, reseed,
bootstrap-cfree, docs-gen, release — unchanged apart from the namespace. Those
tasks read arguments one position further along, so dispatch_dev sets a shift
and commands use arg_n()/arg_total() rather than each knowing its own depth.

Release artifacts become complete install roots (bin/ beside runtime/, packages/
and VERSION) rather than bare binaries, which is what the installer unpacks.
`ludic dev test` asserts the whole shape: it stages an install, puts it on PATH
with no LUDIC_HOME, and runs new -> build -> test through it.

# prelude.ludic — the shared runtime for `x`, the Ludic task runner.
#
# `x` replaces every build/test/bootstrap shell script in the repo: it is a
# single native binary (bin/x) that drives clang, the self-host compiler and the
# unix tools the same way the old *.sh files did — only now it is written in
# Ludic and compiled by Ludic. This fragment is the tiny standard library the
# commands lean on: process control, file IO, string trimming and a colored
# PASS/FAIL test harness. It carries no ECS, so it links as a plain CLI program.
#
# Everything runs relative to the current directory, so `x` must be invoked from
# the repository root (the one-line bootstrap in README.md does exactly that).
# ---- file IO ----------------------------------------------------------------

# ---- host platform ----------------------------------------------------------

# utsname/dirent layout — or compare against renders blessed on macOS. The
# self-hosted compiler and its C-free bootstrap are host-neutral (they produce
# byte-identical IR on any host), so the bulk of the suite runs anywhere; only
# these platform-bound cases are skipped — visibly, never silently — when the
# suite runs off Darwin. That lets a Linux CI runner gate every portable
# guarantee without red from the parts that are macOS-only today.
