agra a67627a691 lang 2.4: protocol-interface method calls on pack elements + conformance fix
Calling a protocol method on a pack element now works: `xs[i].greet()` on a
`..xs: Greeter` pack dispatches to the concrete element's impl, and elements
may be heterogeneous (Dog, Cat). This is the protocol-interface access the
pack is for. (Protocol method decls omit the implicit `self`; impls list it —
the earlier malformed `(self: *Self)` decls were why dispatch looked broken.)

Also fixes packArgConformsTo for non-parameterised protocols: it queried
`protocol_thunk_map`, which is only populated lazily when a protocol VALUE is
built with `xx`, so it false-negatived valid conformers. Now it queries
impl-declaration state directly — `param_impl_map` for parameterised protocols,
or `<ty>.<method>` entries in `fn_ast_map` for non-parameterised ones.

greet(), order-independent).

// Feature 1 — protocol-interface method calls on heterogeneous pack elements.
//
// `..xs: Greeter` binds per call shape; each `xs[i]` is the concrete element,
// and calling the protocol's own method `greet()` on it dispatches to that
// element's impl. Elements may be DIFFERENT concrete types (Dog, Cat) as long
// as each conforms to Greeter — this is the protocol-interface access the
// pack is for. (Protocol method decls omit the implicit `self`; impls list it.)
