agra 8fcf352de8 ffi issue-0048: bare $args slice loses .len across call — xfail lock-in
Bare `$args` evaluated inside a pack-fn body has the right `.len` /
per-element types inline, but the moment the same slice is passed
as an argument to another function, the callee silently reads
length 0 and every element comes back as undef.

Cause (per issue file): `lazyLowerFunction` saves/restores builder
state but not `pack_arg_nodes` / `pack_param_count` /
`pack_arg_types` / `inline_return_target`. When a regular fn like
`describe(args: []Any)` is lazily lowered from inside a pack-fn
mono, the outer pack maps are still active; `lowerFieldAccess`'s
`<pack_name>.len` intercept fires on `describe`'s same-named param
and bakes the outer mono's arity as a constant into describe's IR.
Every subsequent shape's call to describe returns that constant.

`examples/173-pack-bare-args-cross-call.sx` exercises four shapes
(0, 1, 3, 5 elements) through the same `describe(args: []Any)`
walker. The expected output holds the per-position type names
(`[s64]`, `[s64, string, bool]`, etc); today's diff fails — the
walker reads `args.len = 0` for every shape and returns `[]`. The
next commit fixes `lazyLowerFunction`.

// Regression: bare `$args` slice survives crossing a function-call
// boundary — both `.len` AND per-element values come through.
//
// Before the fix landed in `lazyLowerFunction`, the callee's
// `args.len` got constant-folded to the outer pack-fn mono's
// arity. `walk(args: []Any) { return args.len; }` lazily lowered
// inside `probe(..$args)`'s first mono inherited
// `pack_param_count["args"] = N` from the pack — the
// `<pack_name>.len` intercept in `lowerFieldAccess` then baked
// `ret i64 N` into walk's IR. Every subsequent shape's call to
// walk returned the same constant, regardless of the actual slice
// it received.
//
// `describe(args)` walks element-by-element so a silent
// truncation surfaces as a missing tail (or a different type at
// some position) — not just the wrong length.
//
// Walking under `#run` is intentional: the bare-`$args` slice
// carries `const_type` elements that only the interp materialises;
// LLVM emission leaves the per-element slots as undef (4A.bare
// semantics — bare-pack is comptime-only).
