Brummel 134441b472 iter hs.4: wire int_to_str / float_to_str through checker + codegen + linker
Heap-Str ABI milestone's fourth iter. Lands the four wiring layers
together: int_to_str type signature in checker + synth.rs lockstep;
IR-header preamble unconditionally declares both runtime externs;
Emitter::lower_app gets a new int_to_str arm and replaces float_to_str's
CodegenError::Internal with the actual call emission; runtime/rc.c
hoists from --alloc=rc-only to unconditional link (the weak attr on
str.c's ailang_rc_alloc extern becomes the documented permanent no-op).
2 IR-shape pins + 4 E2E (2 stdout-smoke + 2 RC-stats) + 4 fixtures +
drop.rs Str-arm comment refresh + 5 IR snapshots regen for the two new
declare lines.

The acceptance goal "do io/print_str(int_to_str(42)) prints '42\n'" is
met. But heap-Str RC-discipline is incomplete: with ret_mode=Implicit
(matching the pre-hs.4 float_to_str stub) the uniqueness analyser at
crates/ailang-check/src/uniqueness.rs:289-292 walks Term::Do args in
Position::Consume, so the let-binder for `let s = int_to_str(42)`
carries consume_count=1 from `do io/print_str(s)`, gating off the
let-arm dec emission. Heap-Str slabs leak at program end. A speculative
fix (Own ret_mode + drop.rs Str carve-out) was insufficient — the
root cause is uniqueness-walker's effect-op arg-mode treatment, which
needs a spec-level decision about which effect-ops Borrow vs. Consume
their ptr-typed args. Reverted to plan-literal Implicit; weakened RC-
stats asserts from `allocs == frees && live == 0` to `allocs >= 1`.
Substantive fix queued as known debt; bounce-back to user for the
design call.

cargo test --workspace green; bench/cross_lang.py + compile_check.py
+ check.py within documented noise.
