Language: for i in start..end loops

Adds a \`for NAME in START..END { BODY }\` half-open range loop:

    for i in 0..8 {
        total += arr[i]
    }

- Lexer: \`for\`, \`in\` keywords and the \`..\` range operator
- AST: new \`Statement::For\` variant with var/start/end/body
- Parser: \`parse_for\` after \`while\` / \`loop\`
- Analyzer: registers the loop variable as a u8 symbol for the body
  (restoring any shadowed outer symbol afterwards), allocates it via
  the normal RAM allocator, and tracks it as "used"
- IR lowering: desugars to \`var = start; while var < end { body;
  var = var + 1 }\` using a \`for_step\` continue-edge block so
  \`continue\` properly increments the index
- AST codegen: no-op (legacy path doesn't need for loops)
- Tests: parse + full-pipeline integration
