refactor(ffi-linkage): Phase 6.3 — migrate std/ #foreign→extern

Pure source rename across 11 std modules (~60 sites): cli/core/fmt/fs/log/
net/kqueue/process/socket/thread/time/trace. All fn-decl markers — bare
'#foreign;', '#foreign libc;'/'#foreign tlib;' (LIB ref), and
'#foreign libc "csym";' (LIB+rename) → the same 'extern …' tail (extern carries
the identical [LIB] ["csym"] axis). Plus 2 stale comment mentions (fmt/fs).
No class forms in std. These modules ARE host-corpus-exercised, so the empty
snapshot diff is direct validation. Suite green (647 corpus / 444 unit, 0
failed).
