Foundation: structural Lean.Syntax bidirectional reflection

Replaced the fuel-bound MetaArtifact.declAt encoding with real
bidirectional reflection of Lean.Syntax through MetaArtifact.

## Why

The previous encoding capped Lean.Syntax rendering / depth via a
fuel parameter (syntaxFuelCap = 2^32) and a Sum-carrier scheme.
The .declAt round-trip lemma at MetaParse.lean depended on
syntaxFuelCap ≥ syntaxDepth s, which is mathematically false for
adversarial syntax trees (any tree whose name-depth on a node
kind exceeds 2^32 — uncommon but not impossible).  This left
the corresponding round-trip proofs as cheats that no longer
worked once dependent code matured.

Per the project discipline ("we are choosing correctness time and
time again"): fix the encoding rather than weaken the lemma.

## What landed

Foundation/Meta.lean:
  Replaced syntaxRenderAux / syntaxDepthFuel / syntaxFuelCap with:
    · syntaxToLeanSource / syntaxArrayToLeanSource — mutual
      structural rendering, total
    · syntaxDepth / syntaxArrayDepth — mutual structural depth,
      total

Foundation/MetaParse.lean:
  Refactored parseSyntax?Aux / parseSyntaxList?Aux into a joint
  parseSyntaxOrList?Aux : Nat → Bool → List Token →
                        Option ((Lean.Syntax ⊕ List Lean.Syntax) × ...)
  Mirrors the renderer's Sum-carrier; structurally recursive on
  fuel = tokens.length + 1; only the fuel parameter is bounded
  (since the parser doesn't know the syntax shape ahead of time).

  Added correctness round-trip lemmas:
    · parseStringPosRaw?Aux_correct
    · parseSubstringRaw?Aux_correct
    · parseBool?Aux_correct
    · parseSourceInfo?Aux_correct
    · parseStringList?Aux_correct
    · parsePreresolved?Aux_correct
    · parsePreresolvedList?Aux_correct
    · parseSyntaxOrList?Aux_correct  (the master joint round-trip)
    · parseSyntax?Aux_correct        (specialisation at .inl s)

  Added length bounds for the WF measure:
    · stringPosRawToTokens_length_bound (and 5 other helper bounds)
    · syntaxToTokens_length_bound / syntaxListToTokens_length_bound
      (mutual structural induction; chains all helper bounds)

  Replaced the cheat .declAt arms in parseArtifact?Aux_correct
  (line 957) and artifactFromTokens?_round_trip (line 1078) with
  real proofs derived from the new lemmas.

## Discipline

  · Zero sorry / admit (only Comonad/Convolution.lean's interpolated
    "... := sorry" string emissions remain — those are emitted Lean
    source for user-supplied implementations, not proofs).
  · Zero noncomputable / Classical.propDecidable.
  · Zero TODO / FIXME / placeholder comments in source-rendering code.
  · No tests deleted; the Test.lean #eval examples confirm the
    bidirectional round-trip on real Lean syntax inputs.
