rsscript: qualified cross-module value access; lock direct-fresh-call return

Implements the two docs/requests items:

- module-value-access (R2): resolve qualified `module.CONST` and
  `module.Variant` in value position, without a per-symbol `use`. A constant
  resolves to its module-mangled SCREAMING_SNAKE symbol; a variant resolves to
  the bare variant (variant names are global, resolved through their sum type).
  Tracks a new module_variants map and extends rewrite_expr's field-access path.
  Not done (follow-up): glob `use module.*`, qualified variants in pattern
  position, and cross-module same-name-variant disambiguation (needs variant
  namespacing). Doc updated with resolution notes.

- freshness-direct-call-return (R1): already worked — a direct
  `return <fresh-returning call>` is classified FreshCall. Added a pass fixture
  covering direct/receiver/cross-module/wrapper shapes and updated the doc to
  reflect that the general rule is implemented (the port's lone residual warning
  is a narrower callee-resolution edge).

Tests: qualified_module_value_access integration test; fresh-direct-call-return
pass fixture. lib 111 / frontend 194 / lowering 225 green.
