P5.7 Step D: re-express metatype declare() as sx over declare_type

declare(name) is now an ordinary sx fn in modules/std/meta.sx that calls the
abi(.compiler) declare_type primitive — both mint/find the same forward nominal
slot. Removed the bespoke .declare arm from callBuiltinVm and the BuiltinId.declare
member; dropped the declare interception in tryLowerReflectionCall (the call now
routes to the sx fn). preregisterForwardTypes still scans for the literal
declare("Name") spelling so *Name self-references forward-register before the
body lowers (0618). define/type_info/field_type remain builtins.
