Iter 18c.2: linearity check + suggested_rewrites

Adds a per-fn linearity check that runs on every fn whose
param_modes are all explicit (Borrow or Own, no Implicit), tracks
each binder's consume/borrow state through the AST, and emits
two diagnostics with form-A `suggested_rewrites`:

- `use-after-consume` — a binder is referenced after it has
  already been consumed.
- `consume-while-borrowed` — a binder is consumed while a borrow
  of it is still live (sibling arg slot, or an enclosing-fn
  Borrow param).

Fns with any Implicit param skip the check entirely; that's the
back-compat lane that keeps every existing fixture green. Pure
diagnostic addition: no IR change, no codegen change, no runtime
change.

Each diagnostic carries a non-empty `suggested_rewrites` whose
`replacement` is form-A AILang text (typically `(clone <name>)`).
Adds two new public entrypoints to ailang-surface — `parse_term`
and `term_to_form_a` — so the round-trip
`parse_term(term_to_form_a(t)) ≡ t` is the contract every
emitted replacement must satisfy. Tests assert the contract.

Linearity pass runs only on modules that typechecked clean (any
upstream typecheck error suppresses it for that module — running
on partly-defined IR would produce noise).

Tests: 3 unit tests in `linearity::tests`, 3 integration tests
in `ailang-check/tests/workspace.rs`, 1 serialisation test in
`diagnostic.rs`. `cargo test --workspace` green.

//! Iter 18c.2: linearity check for fns whose every parameter mode is
//! explicit (`Borrow` or `Own`).
//!
//! ## Scope
//!
//! - **Active only** on `Def::Fn` whose `Type::Fn.param_modes` is
//! non-empty AND contains no [`ParamMode::Implicit`]. Any
//! `Implicit`-mode param skips the entire fn — that is the back-compat
//! lane that keeps every existing fixture green (only
//! `borrow_own_demo` ships an all-explicit signature today).
//! - **Pure diagnostic.** Emits [`Diagnostic`]s with codes
//! `use-after-consume` / `consume-while-borrowed`. No IR change, no
//! codegen change, no runtime change. The check runs after
//! [`crate::check_fn`] type-checking succeeded for the def.
//! - **No uniqueness inference.** That is Iter 18c.3. The check only
//! tracks what is *spelled* in the source: a binder is consumed when
//! it appears in a non-borrow position; cloned via [`Term::Clone`];
//! borrowed via fn-call into a `Borrow` parameter.
//!
//! ## Position model
//!
//! Each [`Term::Var`] occurrence is in some "position", determined by
//! its parent term:
//!
//! - **Consume** — default. The use takes ownership.
//! - **Borrow** — the use lends a reference; ownership stays with the
//! binder.
//!
//! Position propagation:
//! - `Term::App.callee` — Consume (the value is called once).
//! - `Term::App.args[i]` — Borrow if the callee is a `Var` whose
//! resolved type is a `Type::Fn` with `param_modes[i] == Borrow`;
//! otherwise Consume (Own / Implicit / unknown all default to
//! Consume).
//! - `Term::Clone.value` — Borrow (clone reads + bumps RC, doesn't
//! move).
//! - `Term::Match.scrutinee` — Borrow (matching is a read; for an
//! `Own` param this leaves the binder uneconsumed, which is a known
//! false-negative for "param declared own but never moved" — out of
//! scope for 18c.2 per the assignment).
//! - `Term::Let.value`, `Term::Seq.lhs`, `Term::If.cond` — Consume.
//! - `Term::Ctor.args[*]`, `Term::Do.args[*]` — Consume.
//! - `Term::Lam` — captures are conservatively Consume.
//!
//! ## Within-call borrow lifetime (consume-while-borrowed)
//!
//! For `App { callee, args, .. }` whose callee is a `Var` resolving to
//! a fn-typed binding with explicit `param_modes`: when the i-th arg is
//! a bare `Term::Var { name }` consumed in Borrow position, we
//! **increment** `borrow_count[name]` *before* evaluating
//! `args[i+1..]`. After all args are evaluated and the call has run,
//! we **decrement** them again. So a sibling subterm that consumes the
//! same binder while it is still borrowed by an earlier sibling
//! triggers the `consume-while-borrowed` diagnostic.
//!
//! For a `Borrow` *parameter* of the enclosing fn, the binder starts
//! the body with `borrow_count = 1` (the caller's outer borrow). Any
//! attempt to consume it inside the body therefore also triggers
//! `consume-while-borrowed`.
//!
//! ## Suggested rewrites
//!
//! Each diagnostic carries a non-empty
//! [`crate::diagnostic::Diagnostic::suggested_rewrites`]. The form-A
//! replacement is parseable by [`ailang_surface::parse_term`] — that's
//! the contract guarded by the round-trip test in `tests/`.
//!
//! - `use-after-consume` on `Var x`: replacement `(clone <name>)` —
//! the author should clone an *earlier* use so this later use stays
//! the unique consume.
//! - `consume-while-borrowed` on `Var x`: replacement `(clone <name>)`
//! — the author should clone here so the original keeps the borrow.
