87fa27518c Phase 15 v1: UnifiedCache FIFO→LIFO NEUTRAL (-0.70% Mixed, +0.42% C7)
Transform existing array-based UnifiedCache from FIFO ring to LIFO stack.

A/B Results:
- Mixed (16-1024B): -0.70% (52,965,966 → 52,593,948 ops/s)
- C7-only (1025-2048B): +0.42% (78,010,783 → 78,335,509 ops/s)

Verdict: NEUTRAL (both below +1.0% GO threshold) - freeze as research box

Implementation:
- L0 ENV gate: tiny_unified_lifo_env_box.{h,c} (HAKMEM_TINY_UNIFIED_LIFO=0/1)
- L1 LIFO ops: tiny_unified_lifo_box.h (unified_cache_try_pop/push_lifo)
- L2 integration: tiny_front_hot_box.h (mode check at entry)
- Reuses existing slots[] array (no intrusive pointers)

Root Causes:
1. Mode check overhead (tiny_unified_lifo_enabled() call)
2. Minimal LIFO vs FIFO locality delta in practice
3. Existing FIFO ring already well-optimized

Bonus Fix: LTO bug for tiny_c7_preserve_header_enabled() (Phase 13/14 latent issue)
- Converted static inline to extern + non-inline implementation
- Fixes undefined reference during LTO linking
