refactor(runtime): reduce surface to a mechanism-only dev-loader contract

The runtime explicitly does not implement HMR policy. import.meta.hot, the
hot-data/accept/dispose/prune registries, and dev-session state move to
the JS HMR clients (eg, @nativescript/vite); native keeps only the sync HTTP
module fetch, prewarm cache + list-mode kickstart, eviction plumbing,
and the dev-boot-complete signal. Dev helpers are consolidated under
__NS_DEV__
