agra 6d258ad82b ffi M1.2 A.1 follow-up: struct args/returns in Obj-C type encoding
`appendObjcEncoding` previously bailed on `.@"struct"`, which blocked
sx-defined `#objc_class` methods from declaring CGPoint / CGRect /
NSRange-shape signatures — the `class_addMethod` registration path
would emit a "type kind not yet supported by Obj-C encoding"
diagnostic. The helper now emits Apple's `{Name=field0field1...}`
form recursively, with a small `ObjcEncodingStack` (cap 16) that
breaks transitive struct→struct cycles by emitting the abbreviated
`{Name}` form instead of recursing forever.

`{Point=dd}`, `{_NSRange=QQ}`, `{CGRect={CGPoint=dd}{CGSize=dd}}`
all flow through the existing `objc_msg_send` + `class_addMethod`
path with no further plumbing.

Tests:
- `lower.test.zig` gains four cases: optional unwrap (single + nested),
  flat struct (CGPoint, NSRange shape), nested struct (CGRect with
  CGPoint+CGSize), bringing the helper's test coverage from
  primitives + pointers to the full encoding table.
- `examples/ffi-objc-defined-class-02-struct-encoding.sx` exercises
  a sx-defined `SxMover` class with `goto(p: Point)` setter and
  `here() -> Point` getter end-to-end on macOS; the IR snapshot
  confirms `v@:{Point=dd}` and `{Point=dd}@:` land in
  `OBJC_METH_VAR_TYPE_` constants wired to `class_addMethod`.

Checkpoint cleanup: the "Next step (M1.2 A.1 — type-encoding
derivation table)" header in CHECKPOINT-FFI.md was stale (A.1
shipped in 6cc016c; A.0–A.7 all done; commit list now linked).
The encoding table stays as reference material.

224/224 example tests pass; zig build test green.

// M1.2 A.1 follow-up — pass-by-value struct args/returns in
// sx-defined `#objc_class` methods.
//
// Wires the new `{Name=field0field1...}` arm of
// `appendObjcEncoding` into `class_addMethod` registration. Without
// it, methods that take or return a value-type struct (CGPoint,
// CGSize, NSRange shapes) used to fail signature-encoding
// derivation with a "type kind not yet supported" diagnostic.
//
// Each sx-defined method registered with the Obj-C runtime needs an
// encoding string built from its IR signature. For
// `goto :: (self: *Self, p: Point)` that string is `v@:{Point=dd}`
// — return void, receiver `@`, selector `:`, then the struct
// argument `{Point=dd}`.
//
// We don't observe the encoding string directly here (it ends up in
// a private OBJC_METH_VAR_TYPE_ cstring in the linked binary) — but
// the compiler bails LOUDLY on unsupported types per the project's
// REJECTED PATTERNS rule, so a successful build is the encoding
// going through cleanly.
