M2: Wire IR pipeline, add Coin Cavern example and integration tests

Pipeline:
- main.rs now runs IR lowering and optimization before codegen
- IR is built and optimized but output still uses AST-based codegen
  (IR-based codegen is a future improvement)

Coin Cavern example (examples/coin_cavern.ne):
- 3-state game: Title → Playing → GameOver
- Functions (clamp_x), constants, gravity physics, coin collection
- Demonstrates most M2 language features

Integration tests (14 total, 7 new):
- program_with_functions: functions with params and return values
- program_with_while_loop: while loops compile correctly
- program_with_fast_slow_vars: placement hints accepted
- program_with_multi_state_transitions: 3-state cycle
- coin_cavern_compiles: full Coin Cavern example
- ir_pipeline_produces_ir: validates IR lowering + optimizer
- error_test_recursion_detected: E0402 for recursive functions
