Brummel de674c4d0b Iter 15g-aux — symmetric $u early-return in unify_for_subst
Fix the codegen asymmetry that 15g surfaced. unify_for_subst had an
arg-side-only early-return for $u-prefixed synth wildcards. The
function's prev-binding recursion can swap a $u from arg into param
position when re-unifying a previously-bound type against a fresh
arg. Reduced repro: `length [Left 1, Right 10]` — `a` first binds
to `Either<Int, $u>`, then the recursive unification against
`Either<$u, Int>` lands $u in param-pos[1] and falls through to
the catch-all error.

Fix is three lines: add a symmetric $u early-return for param side.
$u is a synth-only wildcard regardless of which side it ends up on
after the prev-binding swap. Doc comment expanded to record the
origin and justification.

std_either_list_demo refactored: mkleft/mkright workaround helpers
removed; the list is now constructed inline by mixing
(term-ctor std_either.Either Left 1) and (... Right 10) directly.
Same expected output (2, 3, 2, 3); the demo doubles as the 15g-aux
regression fixture.

Tests: 94/94, unchanged. The fix expanded what compiles without
changing observable behaviour for any prior fixture.

; Iter 15g (refactored in 15g-aux) — fifth consumer demo. Imports four
; stdlib modules (std_list, std_either, std_pair, std_either_list);
; threads a List<Either<Int, Int>> through three combinators that
; together exercise every monomorphisation site introduced by 15g.
;
; The list is constructed inline by mixing `(term-ctor std_either.Either
; Left ...)` and `(... Right ...)`. Iter 15g surfaced a `unify_for_subst`
; asymmetry that would have rejected this construction at synth time;
; 15g-aux fixed it by accepting `$u` synth-wildcards on either side of
; the param/arg unification (see ailang-codegen/src/lib.rs's
; `unify_for_subst`). This demo is the regression fixture: if the
; symmetric early-return is reverted, the inline form below errors out
; before reaching codegen.
