fix(elc): add el_mem_check() memory guard — abort before OS OOM-kill

Add el_mem_check() to el_runtime.c: reads ELC_MAX_MEM_MB (default 512),
checks RSS via getrusage (macOS bytes / Linux KB normalised to MB), prints
a clear diagnostic to stderr and exits(1) if exceeded.

Wire it into two places:
- compiler.el: upfront check at --emit-header entry point
- codegen.el: per-function check in the streaming loop after each
  el_arena_pop, so runaway growth is caught at the earliest function
  boundary rather than after the machine is already dying.
