lang: introduce cstring — the C-boundary string (Odin model)
cstring is ONE pointer to a null-terminated u8 buffer, C's char*: thin (8 bytes, no length; cstring_len walks to the terminator), crossing #foreign boundaries verbatim in both directions, with ?cstring as the nullable case lowering to the same bare pointer (null = absent). Conversion discipline mirrors Odin: a string LITERAL coerces implicitly (its bytes are terminated constants); any other string is rejected with a diagnostic naming to_cstring (it may be an unterminated view); and cstring never coerces to string implicitly — from_cstring(c) is the explicit zero-copy view, pricing the strlen. Plumbing: TypeId/TypeInfo builtin slot 18 (first_user 19), name classifiers, size/align/name tables, LLVM ptr lowering, the ?T pointer niche, the xx pointer ladder, the literal-gated coercion plan (isConstString + data_ptr), and the reserved-spelling set. std gains cstring_len/from_cstring/to_cstring (fmt.sx, re-exported); the old cstring(size) allocator helper is renamed alloc_string everywhere; getenv migrates to (name: cstring) -> ?cstring as the canonical user and env() drops its manual strlen/memcpy. Pinned: examples/1222 (FFI both directions, literal coercion, ?cstring null paths, round trip) and examples/1173 (both coercion diagnostics); FAIL pre-feature. The alloc_string rename + getenv signature shift the .ir snapshots — regenerated. zig build test 426/426; run_examples 604/604. Spec: reserved spelling + cstring section + C-interop rows.
