Front-Direct implementation: SS→FC direct refill + SLL complete bypass

## Summary

Implemented Front-Direct architecture with complete SLL bypass:
- Direct SuperSlab → FastCache refill (1-hop, bypasses SLL)
- SLL-free allocation/free paths when Front-Direct enabled
- Legacy path sealing (SLL inline opt-in, SFC cascade ENV-only)

## New Modules

- core/refill/ss_refill_fc.h (236 lines): Standard SS→FC refill entry point
  - Remote drain → Freelist → Carve priority
  - Header restoration for C1-C6 (NOT C0/C7)
  - ENV: HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DRAIN_THRESH, HAKMEM_TINY_P0_NO_DRAIN

- core/front/fast_cache.h: FastCache (L1) type definition
- core/front/quick_slot.h: QuickSlot (L0) type definition

## Allocation Path (core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h)

- Added s_front_direct_alloc TLS flag (lazy ENV check)
- SLL pop guarded by: g_tls_sll_enable && !s_front_direct_alloc
- Refill dispatch:
  - Front-Direct: ss_refill_fc_fill() → fastcache_pop() (1-hop)
  - Legacy: sll_refill_batch_from_ss() → SLL → FC (2-hop, A/B only)
- SLL inline pop sealed (requires HAKMEM_TINY_INLINE_SLL=1 opt-in)

## Free Path (core/hakmem_tiny_free.inc, core/hakmem_tiny_fastcache.inc.h)

- FC priority: Try fastcache_push() first (same-thread free)
- tiny_fast_push() bypass: Returns 0 when s_front_direct_free || !g_tls_sll_enable
- Fallback: Magazine/slow path (safe, bypasses SLL)

## Legacy Sealing

- SFC cascade: Default OFF (ENV-only via HAKMEM_TINY_SFC_CASCADE=1)
- Deleted: core/hakmem_tiny_free.inc.bak, core/pool_refill_legacy.c.bak
- Documentation: ss_refill_fc_fill() promoted as CANONICAL refill entry

## ENV Controls

- HAKMEM_TINY_FRONT_DIRECT=1: Enable Front-Direct (SS→FC direct)
- HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DIRECT_FC_ALL=1: Same as above (alt name)
- HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_BATCH=1: Enable batch refill (also enables Front-Direct)
- HAKMEM_TINY_SFC_CASCADE=1: Enable SFC cascade (default OFF)
- HAKMEM_TINY_INLINE_SLL=1: Enable inline SLL pop (default OFF, requires AGGRESSIVE_INLINE)

## Benchmarks (Front-Direct Enabled)

```bash
ENV: HAKMEM_BENCH_FAST_FRONT=1 HAKMEM_TINY_FRONT_DIRECT=1
     HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_BATCH=1 HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DIRECT_FC_ALL=1
     HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_COUNT_HOT=256 HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_COUNT_MID=96
     HAKMEM_TINY_BUMP_CHUNK=256

bench_random_mixed (16-1040B random, 200K iter):
  256 slots: 1.44M ops/s (STABLE, 0 SEGV)
  128 slots: 1.44M ops/s (STABLE, 0 SEGV)

bench_fixed_size (fixed size, 200K iter):
  256B: 4.06M ops/s (has debug logs, expected >10M without logs)
  128B: Similar (debug logs affect)
```

## Verification

- TRACE_RING test (10K iter): **0 SLL events** detected ✅
- Complete SLL bypass confirmed when Front-Direct=1
- Stable execution: 200K iterations × multiple sizes, 0 SEGV

## Next Steps

- Disable debug logs in hak_alloc_api.inc.h (call_num 14250-14280 range)
- Re-benchmark with clean Release build (target: 10-15M ops/s)
- 128/256B shortcut path optimization (FC hit rate improvement)
