funkpower d90d4c171f a C ABI, so this can be embedded rather than spawned ...

Every desktop shell that reads typikon today runs the binary and parses
its JSON. That costs about 1.5ms and is the right answer for a calendar
that changes once a day, but it is the wrong shape for anything with an
FFI and no business spawning a process on every redraw.

Dates cross as Julian Day Numbers, so no struct layout is part of the
contract. A day is opaque and owns its strings, built once when it is
reckoned: an accessor returns the same borrowed pointer every time, so a
statusline polling one in a loop allocates nothing. The accessors carry
every field of the JSON, so nothing on the other side needs a parser.

The Python bindings and this were resolving a jurisdiction by two copies
of the same logic, and the copy here leaked one per call. Both now share
jurisdictions::resolve_full, which interns the combinations instead.

The header is a promise made in a second file, and a second file drifts:
a test reads both and fails if either has a symbol the other does not,
and does the same for the LuaJIT cdef, where a stale declaration is a
segfault rather than a compile error.
