feat(joinir): Structural pattern detection + Pattern 4 scaffold

- Add LoopFeatures struct for structure-based detection (no name deps)
- Add LoopPatternKind enum and classify() function
- Pattern 3: has_if_else_phi && !has_break && !has_continue
- Pattern 4: has_continue == true (detection only, lowering TODO)
- Unify router to use extract_features()/classify() instead of legacy
- Remove AST dependency, use LoopForm/LoopScope only
- Add Pattern 4 test file (loop_continue_pattern4.hako)
- Pattern 3 test passes (sum=9)
