agra c01ece5483 docs(spec): make the count zero-rule context-dependent per consumer (0083)
The count description claimed every count must be "positive integral",
which is wrong: zero is context-dependent. Verified at HEAD — an array
dimension (`[0]s64`) and a generic value-param count (`Box(0)`, $N:u32)
both accept zero as a length-0 instantiation, while a `Vector` lane
count stays strictly positive (`Vector(0,f32)` rejected). Negatives are
rejected for array dims and unsigned value-params, but a signed
value-param accepts a negative; only the integral requirement (folds
4.0, rejects 4.5) is common to all three.

Split the count paragraph into per-consumer bullets stating the exact
range each accepts. Range-bound paragraph unchanged. Pin the zero
contrast with examples 0147 (array-dim + value-param zero accepted) and
1505 (Vector zero-lane rejected). No compiler-code change.

// A zero `Vector` lane count is rejected — a vector must have at least one lane
// (strictly positive). Contrast with an array dimension / value-param count,
// where zero is a valid length-0 instantiation (see 0147). This pins the
// zero-rejecting half of the context-dependent count rule (specs.md, Array
// Types).
//
// Regression (F0.4 attempt 12): the spec now states the zero rule per consumer;
// the `Vector` lane count stays strictly positive while array dims / value-param
// counts accept zero.
