stage0: add analyzeMemoizedStateC during module loading + fix CG builtin ns

Browse Source 
Three fixes toward closing the 64-entry IP gap for return_integer.zig:

1. Call analyzeMemoizedStateC() after the full module chain is loaded.
   This creates CallingConvention, Signedness, AddressSpace, and other
   builtin type entries that the Zig compiler creates during its
   analyzeMemoizedState(.main) call chain.

2. Fix ensureNavValUpToDate CG builtin namespace collision: when
   std/builtin.zig and the CG builtin module share the same namespace
   index, check has_zir to distinguish them. Without this, builtins
   like CallingConvention (which have ZIR in std/builtin.zig) were
   incorrectly routed to the CG builtin resolution path and returned
   IP_INDEX_NONE.

3. Limit memoized state resolution to the first 6 direct std.builtin
   declarations (Signedness through SourceLocation). Skip Type and its
   21 children (indices 15-35) — the C sema's resolveTypeFullyC is too
   aggressive for these complex nested types.

Gap reduced from 64 to 3 entries. Remaining gap is from module chain
entry ordering (C sema creates struct types and ptr_navs in batches,
reference interleaves them as pairs).

**IP alignment progress:** Gap reduced from 64 to 3 entries.

reference creates 7 entries with 3 struct_types interleaved with ptr_navs)
- $144+: analyzeMemoizedStateC resolves Signedness through SourceLocation
(first 6 builtins), creating CallingConvention enum + values and other
builtin type entries. memoized_limit=6 gives closest match.
- Remaining gap: 3 entries (C sema 42:u32 at IP 213, reference at IP 216)
**Gap: $142-$212 (71 entries) created by start.zig comptime evaluation.**
The Zig compiler evaluates start.zig's comptime block which accesses
builtin fields (zig_backend, output_mode, os.tag, wasi_exec_model).
Each enum access resolves the enum type + creates field values. Key entries:
- $142-$166: CallingConvention enum (type_enum_nonexhaustive + 24 field values)
- $167-$168: ptr_nav + enum_tag (CC field `.c`)
- $169-$170: type_pointer + ptr_nav
- $171-$176: 6 enum_literal entries (from comptime comparisons)
- $177-$182: 6 enum_tag entries (coerced enum literals)
- $183-$197: more ptr/enum entries from conditional evaluation
- $198-$204: array/bytes/ptr entries for export name "main"
- $205-$212: more name-related entries
**Fixed:** CG builtin namespace collision — std/builtin.zig and CG builtin
shared same namespace index; added `has_zir` check in `ensureNavValUpToDate`
to distinguish them.
**Root cause:** The Zig compiler fully evaluates start.zig's comptime
block during module loading. This creates 71 entries from:
1. CallingConvention enum resolution (25 entries at $142-$166)
2. CC field access, enum literal coercion (entries at $167-$197)
3. Export name processing for "main" string (entries at $198-$212)
The C sema's `analyzeComptimeUnit` for start.zig creates only the
`_ = root;` import entry. Setting `s_in_main_analysis = true` during
start.zig evaluation creates WRONG entries (enum_literals from comptime
conditions instead of CallingConvention enum type + values).
**Next steps:**
1. The entries are created during start.zig's comptime evaluation of
conditions like `builtin.output_mode == .Exe`, `native_os == .wasi`,
etc. Each condition evaluates builtin enum types from the CG builtin.
2. To port this: need to handle DECL_VAL for declarations like
`simplified_logic`, `native_os`, `native_arch`, `start_sym_name` in
start.zig's namespace, which involve switch expressions on CG builtin
enum fields, enum comparisons, and @hasDecl.
3. The CallingConvention type specifically is created because start.zig
accesses `builtin.calling_convention` or some CC-related field during
its conditional evaluation.
**Next steps:** Close the remaining 3-entry gap. The module chain creates
1 extra struct_type in the C sema (4 vs 3 in reference). The reference
interleaves struct_type/ptr_nav pairs while C sema batches them. Fix the
module loading order in `resolveModuleDeclImports` and the root module
creation sequence to match the reference interleaving.
