feat(host): {.ffiHost.} metadata + Go wrapper (increment 5)
5a: record {.ffiHost.} procs in a compile-time registry (FFIHostMeta /
ffiHostRegistry), populated by the macro, so generators can see host fns.

5b: the Go generator emits an idiomatic wrapper over the host C ABI:
- a single //export cgo trampoline backs every host fn; a cgo.Handle in
  userData selects the Go closure;
- the closure runs on a fresh GOROUTINE so the FFI thread is never blocked
  (the non-blocking contract), then answers via <lib>_host_complete by token;
- a per-host `Set<Name>(func(string) (string, error))` method registers it.

Validated end to end with `go run` (examples/host_demo): Go UseToken -> Nim
{.ffi.} handler -> await fetchToken {.ffiHost.} -> Go trampoline -> goroutine
runs the closure -> host_complete -> future resolves on the loop thread ->
"token[TOK-session]" back in Go. Timer's Go output is unchanged (no host fns);
its regenerated .h just gains the always-exported host ABI decls.

## `argName`/`argTypeName`/`returnTypeName` carry the shape so generators can
## emit a typed wrapper.
