feat(joinir): Phase 195 - Unified JoinLoopTrace for all JoinIR debug output

Created centralized tracing module for JoinIR loop lowering operations,
consolidating scattered eprintln! calls into a single SSOT interface.

# Implementation

1. **Created trace.rs module** (~233 lines)
   - JoinLoopTrace struct with env var controls
   - Unified API: pattern(), varmap(), joinir_stats(), phi(), merge(), etc.
   - Global singleton via trace() function
   - Supports 5 env vars: NYASH_TRACE_VARMAP, NYASH_JOINIR_DEBUG,
     NYASH_OPTION_C_DEBUG, NYASH_JOINIR_MAINLINE_DEBUG, NYASH_LOOPFORM_DEBUG

2. **Updated debug.rs** - Delegates trace_varmap() to JoinLoopTrace

3. **Updated routing.rs** - All eprintln! replaced with trace calls (10 instances)

4. **Updated pattern routers** - All 3 patterns now use unified trace
   - pattern1_minimal.rs: 6 replacements
   - pattern2_with_break.rs: 6 replacements
   - pattern3_with_if_phi.rs: 6 replacements
   - router.rs: 2 replacements

5. **Updated merge/block_allocator.rs** - 6 eprintln! → trace calls

# Benefits

- **Single Source of Truth**: All trace control through environment variables
- **Consistent Format**: Unified [trace:*] prefix for easy filtering
- **Zero Overhead**: No output when env vars unset
- **Easy Extension**: Add new trace points via existing API
- **Better Debug Experience**: Structured output with clear categories

# Testing

✅ cargo build --release - Success
✅ NYASH_TRACE_VARMAP=1 - Shows varmap traces only
✅ NYASH_JOINIR_DEBUG=1 - Shows joinir + blocks + routing traces
✅ No env vars - No debug output
✅ apps/tests/loop_min_while.hako - All tests pass

# Related

- Phase 191-194 groundwork (modular merge structure)
- NYASH_TRACE_VARMAP added today for variable_map debugging
- Consolidates ~80 scattered eprintln! calls across JoinIR

+//! JoinLoopTrace - Unified tracing for JoinIR loop lowering
+//!
+//! This module consolidates all debug output for JoinIR loop operations into a single
+//! interface, making tracing consistent and controllable through environment variables.
+//!
+//! # Environment Variables
+//!
+//! - `NYASH_TRACE_VARMAP=1`: Enable variable_map tracing (shows variable → ValueId mappings)
+//! - `NYASH_JOINIR_DEBUG=1`: Enable general JoinIR debug output (pattern routing, merge stats)
+//! - `NYASH_OPTION_C_DEBUG=1`: Enable PHI-related debug (Option C PHI generation)
+//! - `NYASH_JOINIR_MAINLINE_DEBUG=1`: Enable mainline routing debug (function name matching)
+//! - `NYASH_LOOPFORM_DEBUG=1`: Enable LoopForm debug (control flow structure)
+//!
+//! # Output Format
+//!
+//! All trace output uses prefixed tags for easy filtering:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! [trace:pattern] route: Pattern3_WithIfPhi MATCHED
+//! [trace:varmap] pattern3_before_merge: i→r4, sum→r7
+//! [trace:joinir] merge_start: 3 functions, 45 blocks
+//! [trace:phi] pattern3: PHI already exists, skipping
+//! [trace:merge] pattern3: starting JoinIR merge
+//! [trace:exit_phi] pattern3: sum r7→r15
+//! [trace:debug] router: Current function name: 'main'
+//! ```
+//!
+//! # Examples
+//!
+//! ```bash
+//! # Enable variable_map tracing only
+//! NYASH_TRACE_VARMAP=1 ./target/release/hakorune test.hako 2>&1 | grep "\[trace:"
+//!
+//! # Enable all JoinIR debug output
+//! NYASH_JOINIR_DEBUG=1 ./target/release/hakorune test.hako 2>&1 | grep "\[trace:"
+//!
+//! # Enable PHI tracing
+//! NYASH_OPTION_C_DEBUG=1 ./target/release/hakorune test.hako 2>&1 | grep "\[trace:phi\]"
