fix(compiler): allow integer coercion in range bounds; use for loops in boko-framework

- sema: range bounds now accept compatible integer types (e.g. int..uint)
  instead of requiring exact type equality.
- hir_lower: derive loop variable type from the common range type.
- boko-framework: replace manual while loops with for loops in Query_Parse,
  Request_Parse, Path_Match and App_Run.
