Brummel ca507c9f52 Iter 16b.5: LetRec name as value (in_term only) via eta-Lam wrapper
Drops the direct-call-only restriction on the LetRec name when it
appears in `in_term`. No new ABI: the lift wraps the in-term in
`(let f (lam P (app f$lr_N P CAPTURES)) in_term')` so codegen's
existing Iter-8b closure-pair machinery handles it. Body-position
name-as-value still rejected (deferred — eta-of-self is harder).

- desugar.rs / lift.rs: split find_non_callee_use into body
  (panic) and in_term (wrap).
- examples/local_rec_as_value.{ailx,ail.json}: no-capture path
  (factorial passed to apply5 → 120).
- examples/local_rec_as_value_capture.{ailx,ail.json}: capture
  path; lifted fn has captures, eta-Lam picks them up via 8b.
- e2e + desugar tests: 113 → 116 (+3).

Codegen Lam machinery handled the wrapped form on the first try.

; Iter 16b.5 — LetRec name as value, with capture. A recursive
; helper `factorial_plus` captures the outer fn-param `base` and is
; passed as a VALUE to a higher-order combinator. The lifted fn has
; signature `factorial_plus$lr_N(n: Int, base: Int) -> Int`. The
; eta-Lam wrap binds `factorial_plus` in the in-clause to a
; `(lam (n) (app factorial_plus$lr_N n base))` — the Lam's free var
; `base` becomes a closure-env capture under the standard 8b ABI.
; This exercises the dynamic-env path (lifted fn has extra params,
; the eta-Lam captures them).
;
; Expected stdout (one per line):
; apply5(factorial_plus[base=10]) = 5*4*3*2*(1+10) = 1320
; apply5(factorial_plus[base=100]) = 5*4*3*2*(1+100) = 12120
