ABI: make Idris2 proofs genuinely compile + add machine-checked theorems (#33)

## Idris2 ABI proofs — genuinely compile + machine-checked theorems

Part of the family-wide ABI-proofs review. The hand-written ABI did
**not** typecheck under Idris2 0.7.0; this makes it real and verified,
following the merged **iseriser** reference.

**Systemic fixes:** `decEq _ _ = No absurd` → explicit off-diagonal
cases; `{auto 0 nonNull}` smart constructors → `choose`-based;
`paddingFor` `-` → `minus`; real `decDivides`/`decFieldsAligned`
replacing `?fieldsAlignedProof`; honest `offsetInBounds`; `thisPlatform`
de-`%runElab`'d; buildable nested layout + ipkg; new `Proofs.idr` with
real theorems.

**Verified:** `idris2 --build` clean (0/0); adversarial re-verify found
no `believe_me`/`postulate`/holes.
