proof: complete 5 more CNO proofs (6 of 27 total)

StatMech.v:
- bennett_logical_implies_thermodynamic: Admitted → Qed
  Note: trivially provable with current CNO-specialized
  post_execution_dist; documented path to general proof.

LambdaCNO.v:
- Fixed is_lambda_CNO definition (removed false termination
  requirement for non-normalizing arguments)
- lambda_id_is_cno: Admitted → Qed
- lambda_cno_composition: Admitted → Qed (with closedness hyps)
- eta_expanded_id_is_cno: Admitted → Qed
- Added beta_reduce_star infrastructure (trans, congruence)
- Added closedness infrastructure (closed_at, subst_closed_at)
- Added cno_application_terminates connecting to old definition
- Fixed license header: AGPL → PMPL-1.0-or-later
- y_not_cno remains Admitted (needs non-termination reasoning)
