agra 3c738695dc fix: diagnose non-conforming protocol erasure instead of unreachable-thunk SIGABRT (issue 0176)
Erasing a type to a protocol when it conforms only via a free function
(not an explicit impl P for T) built a vtable of unreachable thunks ->
SIGABRT on first dispatch, with no diagnostic. Per specs.md erasure is
impl-driven, not structural, so the erasure was never valid.

Add a conformance gate (firstUnimplementedMethod in buildProtocolValue,
src/ir/lower/protocol.zig): emit a located diagnostic when a protocol
method has no reachable impl, or when an impl method introduces its own
type params (signature mismatch — it bails lazyLowerFunction and would
reach the unreachable thunk). A std.debug.panic tripwire guards the
diagnostics==null path so a non-conforming erasure can never silently
ship as undef. Gate<->thunk equivalence verified bidirectional.

Regressions: protocols/0419 (positive struct-field dispatch),
diagnostics/1197 (no-impl) + 1198 (generic-method signature mismatch).
Updated memory/0808 (it erased a non-conforming type that never
dispatched). Verified by 3+1 adversarial reviews, suite 788/0. Filed
adjacent bug 0178 (protocol impl method type-mismatch silent miscompile).
