ok 7344d3a8d7 Self-recursive direct call, UTIME, CONSOLIDATE benchmarks
1. Self-recursive direct call: when a word calls itself (RECURSE),
   emit `call WORD_FUNC` instead of `call_indirect`. Eliminates
   table lookup + signature check for recursive words.
   Fibonacci(25): 5003us → 1629us (3x faster, now 2.2x faster than gforth)

2. Add CONSOLIDATE column to performance benchmarks showing
   post-consolidation performance (direct calls between all words).

WAFER now beats gforth on all 5 benchmarks:
  Fibonacci:    0.45x (2.2x faster)
  Factorial:    0.53x (1.9x faster)
  GCD:          0.50x (2x faster)
  NestedLoops:  0.10x (10x faster)
  Collatz:      0.31x (3x faster)

ok b1f7a5cc49 Release-mode benchmarks, UTIME word, consolidated promotion
Three changes:

1. Add UTIME host function ( -- ud ) for microsecond timing in Forth.
   Enables self-timed benchmarks matching gforth's utime approach.

2. Switch comparison benchmarks to release mode: builds wafer binary
   with --release, measures via UTIME (excludes startup overhead).
   Previously measured debug-mode Rust overhead, not WASM execution.

3. Add stack-to-local promotion to consolidated codegen path. Words
   that pass is_promotable now use the StackSim emit path even in
   CONSOLIDATE'd modules, preventing performance regression.

Release-mode results (WAFER beats gforth on 4/5 benchmarks):
  Factorial:    0.54x (2x faster)
  GCD:          0.50x (2x faster)
  NestedLoops:  0.10x (10x faster)
  Collatz:      0.31x (3x faster)
  Fibonacci:    1.47x (call overhead)

ok 806d7b3094 Add cross-engine comparison test suite (WAFER vs gforth)
35 behavioral tests across 8 categories verify identical output between
WAFER and gforth. Performance benchmarks compare execution speed for
Fibonacci, Factorial, GCD, NestedLoops, and Collatz workloads.

WAFER-only correctness tests run in CI without gforth; cross-engine
comparison and performance report are opt-in via --ignored.
