fix(ir): resolve forward identifier type aliases in scanDecls (issue 0069)

scanDecls' `.identifier` alias branch registered `A :: B` into
ProgramIndex.type_alias_map only when `B` was already known (in
type_alias_map or the TypeTable). A forward target declared later
(`MyChain :: MyInt; MyInt :: s32;`) was never present during the single
forward scan, so the alias name went unregistered and the A2.4
unknown-type pass — which treats type_alias_map keys as declared types —
flagged its uses as `unknown type 'MyChain'`.

Add a fixpoint post-pass `resolveForwardIdentifierAliases` at the end of
scanDecls that re-resolves identifier-RHS aliases until no progress, after
every top-level name has been seen. A value const is never an `.identifier`
node, and an alias whose target is a value const still misses both lookups,
so issue 0068's value-const rejection is preserved.

Regression: examples/0132-types-forward-type-alias.sx (forward alias +
forward chain). Gate: zig build, zig build test, run_examples.sh -> 353/0.

// Forward identifier type alias — an alias whose target is declared LATER
// in the file resolves the same as an ordered one. `MyChain :: MyInt;`
// appears before `MyInt :: s32;`, yet `MyChain` resolves to `s32` and a
// forward chain (`A :: B; B :: C; C :: u8;`) converges too.
// Regression (issue 0069): the scan only registered identifier aliases whose
// target was already known, so a forward alias was falsely flagged
// `unknown type`. Now a fixpoint pass over the scanned decls resolves them.
