Python LLVM backend implementation (experimental)

- Created llvmlite-based LLVM backend in src/llvm_py/
- Implemented all MIR14 instructions (const, binop, jump, branch, ret, compare, phi, call, boxcall, externcall, typeop, newbox, safepoint, barrier)
- Experimental LoopForm support
- ~2000 lines of clean Python code vs complex Rust/inkwell
- Useful for PHI/SSA validation and rapid prototyping
- Added documentation to CLAUDE.md

This was created while waiting for ChatGPT's investigation of BuilderCursor issues.
