fix: 70% test suite pass rate (164/233)

Emitter: iterative worklist-based form processing (no more stack overflow),
type conversion functions (float/int/double/long/short/byte/boolean),
metadata stripping in def/defn/defn-, to-array runtime mapping

Macros: namespace-qualified macro resolution (t/deftest -> deftest),
when-var-exists macro restored, are/testing/is/thrown? built-in macros

Runtime: cljToFloat, cljToInt, cljToBool, cljToArray conversion wrappers,
cljVolatileBang, cljDeliver, cljDoall, cljDorun, cljDropLast,
cljShuffle, cljFnil, cljIntern stubs

Results: 164/233 passed (70%)
  clojure.string: 8/8 (100%)
  clojure.core: 156/225 (69%)
