Expand the abbreviated string type and its conversion builtin to the full
word everywhere:
str -> string (the immutable-string type)
str(x) -> str -> string(x) -> string (the stringify builtin;
what `{…}` interpolation calls)
Types are recognized by identifier, and llty maps both spellings to LLVM
`ptr`, so this is an atomic source rewrite: type annotations, the Ludic
type tags, the builtin name/dispatch, and the interpolation desugar, plus
the grammars, LSP, docs (type-str -> type-string, fn-str -> fn-string), and
inventory. int/bool stay (universally accepted, like Math).
Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds; all suites green (45/24/29); site + check.py OK.

Converts a value to its textual form: an <code>int</code>, <code>bool</code>, or <code>fixed</code> becomes a string, and a value that is already a string is returned unchanged. This is what backtick <code>`{…}`</code> interpolation calls under the hood, so most of the time you can interpolate directly instead of calling <code>string</code> yourself. Reach for the explicit form when you need to store or pass around the text, or build a string in pieces. The result can be printed, drawn with <code>Screen.draw_text</code>, or concatenated.
