agra 463557990f feat(lang): float numeric-limit accessors — examples, unit tests, docs [NL.2]
Finish NL.2 on top of the WIP compiler impl (2e9e4fe): f32/f64 expose
.min/.max plus the float-only .epsilon/.min_positive/.true_min/.inf/.nan,
folded via the shared lowerNumericLimit intercept + builder.constFloat.

- examples/0159: pins every f32/f64 accessor by untagged-union bit
  reinterpret against exact IEEE-754 hex (true_min read before any
  arithmetic — FTZ/DAZ), plus the defining-property checks
  ((1+eps)!=1 / (1+eps/2)==1, inf>max, min==-max, true_min<min_positive,
  true_min>0, nan!=nan).
- examples/0160: float-only accessor on an int (s32.epsilon/u8.inf/
  s64.true_min) and any accessor on a non-numeric type compile-error
  cleanly (exit 1, pinned stderr).
- type_resolver.test.zig: floatLimitFor bit-pattern + property tests for
  f32/f64, isLimitField coverage, null for non-float/non-limit fields.
- specs.md Numeric Limits: float accessors + the min=-max / min_positive=
  smallest-normal / epsilon=ULP-of-1.0 / true_min=smallest-subnormal
  clarifications, with the mandatory FTZ/DAZ flush-to-zero caveat.
  readme.md overview updated.

// Cross-type rules for the numeric-limit accessors. `.min` / `.max` are valid on
// BOTH integer and float types, but `.epsilon` / `.min_positive` / `.true_min` /
// `.inf` / `.nan` are FLOAT-ONLY. Applying a float-only accessor to an INTEGER
// type, or ANY accessor to a non-numeric type, is a clean compile error — never
// a silent value, never the `.unresolved` sentinel reaching codegen.
//
// - float-only accessor on an integer (`s32.epsilon`, `u8.inf`,
// `s64.true_min`) → a dedicated "applies only to float types" diagnostic
// from the accessor intercept, located at the access;
// - any accessor on a non-numeric builtin (`bool.nan`, `string.max`) → the
// "numeric limits apply only to integer and float types" diagnostic;
// - a user struct (`MyStruct.epsilon`) → the type name is not a builtin, so the
// intercept stays out and the existing field-not-found path reports it.
// Each case is accurate and located at the access; the program exits non-zero.
