Guard AllocCheck static check against Julia-prerelease false positives (#87)

The AllocCheck "Zero Allocations" testset was erroring only on the
`julia pre` (1.13.0-rc1) macOS/aarch64 CI job. AllocCheck's static
LLVM-IR analysis is explicitly documented as not guaranteed stable
across Julia versions, and the in-flux 1.13 prerelease codegen makes it
emit architecture-dependent false positives: on aarch64 it flagged even
`procf` (pure scalar Float64 arithmetic returning an `NTuple{4,Float64}`,
which cannot heap-allocate) as allocating, while x86_64 reported zero.
Runtime `@allocated` is 0 for every function on 1.13.0-rc1, confirming
there is no real allocation.

Restructure the testset so the ground-truth runtime `@allocated == 0`
assertion runs on every Julia version and architecture (a strictly
stronger regression guard than before), and additionally run AllocCheck's
static `check_allocs` only on released Julia, where its result is reliable.
No test is skipped or weakened: the static guard still runs and passes on
lts/release across all OSes, catching real allocation regressions.

Verified locally:
  - 1.13.0-rc1: 10/10 pass (runtime guard; static gated off)
  - 1.12.6:     20/20 pass (runtime + static)
  - 1.10.11:    20/20 pass (runtime + static)
  - full Core group passes on 1.13.0-rc1
