feat(caller): resolve who is calling, and declare the export that carries it

A module can now learn which module is calling it. Not via the LIDL — this
is not part of any module's interface, and the callee already has the
identity from the token the call carried; the only question was surfacing
it. So it is ambient: logos::currentCaller(), no declared parameter, no
contract change, no per-method opt-in.

WHAT THIS PR CONTAINS
  * LogosCaller — Unknown | HostAnchor | Module{name, instance?} |
    Derived{parent, leaf} | Operator{name} — std-typed and Qt-free.
  * CallerScope, an RAII save/restore around a thread-local STACK. Not a
    slot: A calling B calling back into A on one thread must nest, and an
    exception thrown from a handler must still pop.
  * resolveCaller, replacing the bool fold in ModuleProxy. It reads the
    INBOUND store #69 made direction-pure — the only store that may
    legitimately name a caller.
  * logos_module_set_call_caller DECLARED, and MINOR 5 -> 6.

WHY AMBIENT, AND WHY IT MUST CROSS AN IMAGE BOUNDARY
LogosProviderObject::callMethod is a vtable slot, and this codebase avoids
vtable changes on purpose. But the deeper reason is measured, not stylistic:
nm on real binaries shows the host and the module plugin EACH define
ModuleProxy::callRemoteMethod and TokenManager::instance, each with its own
function-local static at a distinct address, and neither with a single
undefined reference to the other's. Mach-O is TWOLEVEL; PE has no
interposition. A thread_local opened host-side is NOT the one a handler
reads. Since --backend qt is now refused outright, every module is a cdylib
and the C ABI push is the only path, not a fallback.

The pull is only safe through QMetaObject::invokeMethod on the host's
LogosAPI, because metaObject()/qt_metacall are virtual and the vptr was
written by the host's constructor — LogosAPI is duplicated across images
too, meta-object included, so a direct call would bind to the plugin's copy
and read the plugin's TLS, silently empty forever. A dynamic property
cannot carry it either: one process-global slot, so two overlapping
concurrency:"multi" calls from different callers would clobber each other.

Nothing here is spelled "verified". capability_module checks only that an
asserted name EXISTS as a key, so the strongest honest word is token-bound.
HostAnchor carries no name because core and capability_module hold one
token VALUE under two keys by construction. Unknown is the fail-closed
value and is always in-band, never spelled by absence.

The constant-time fold survives: the matched key is accumulated into a
fixed-width buffer with no data-dependent branch, verified at the
instruction level (csel, not a branch) with the comparison count invariant.

THE BUMP IS SAFE BECAUSE THE BACKENDS WENT FIRST
logos-protocol only DECLARES this ABI; every backend owes the definition,
and that gap shipped twice. logos-cpp-sdk#147 and logos-rust-sdk#47 already
define logos_module_set_call_caller, gated on >= 0.6 and therefore inert
until this lands. Verified on x86_64-linux: with this tree as the protocol,
BOTH backends at master pass their ABI checks and define the export;
manifest reports 0.6.0 with 11 exports. No repo is red at any point.

Rule 6 is now normative on a point the two backends had silently diverged
on — a present-but-unreadable "instance" is dropped and the module still
identified — each having pinned its own answer with a passing test.
