Iter 16b.1 — local recursive let (no-capture)

Add `(let-rec NAME (params ...) (type ...) (body ...) (in ...))`
as a form-A surface and a `Term::LetRec` AST variant. The 16a
desugar pass lifts each LetRec whose body has no captures from
the enclosing scope to a synthetic top-level fn `<hint>$lr_N`
and substitutes the original name; typecheck and codegen never
see LetRec. Capture detection panics at desugar time, queued
for 16b.2.

Tests: 95 → 99 (+1 e2e local_rec_factorial_demo, +2 desugar
unit, +1 parse unit). The new fixture `examples/local_rec_demo`
runs `fact` at n=1, 3, 5 → prints 1, 6, 120.
