Chris Tate 88e032bf65 Keep counters a for loop bounds in integer shadows
A loop that counts with number locals (`lines++`, `run = 0`,
`longest = run`) kept each counter a double, so every increment was a
dependent floating-point add, and conditional increments compiled to
branches. The speculative integer copy only covered loops with products
or variable steps.

The range analysis now bounds for-loop cursors that are reset to an
integer literal or set to another bounded binding, besides those it
already bounded by their increments. A cursor's writes take its loop
range, which holds every value it takes in the loop, so `changes + 1`
stays proven at the limit of a typed array's length. The analysis
reports these loop ranges per for loop.

Where an exception leaves the function (no enclosing try or finally,
no coroutine), the emitter keeps such cursors in i64 shadows for the
loop: one copy of the loop, no checks, and each double is written back
when the loop exits. A loop with a labeled break or continue keeps its
doubles.
