feat(L9): outlives preorder laws + loadSafe theorem (A4)

Closes PROOF-NEEDS §P0.3.  The Outlives relation already had a full
case-analysis transitivity proof (`outlivesTransitive`, seven-case
pattern match over constructor combinations).  This change names the
two preorder laws explicitly and lands the Level 9 load-safety
theorem.

Preorder laws:

  outlivesRefl  : (l : Lifetime) -> Outlives l l
                  — reflexivity; thin wrapper over `OutlivesSelf`.

  outlivesTrans : Outlives a b -> Outlives b c -> Outlives a c
                  — alias of the pre-existing `outlivesTransitive`
                    under the PROOF-NEEDS §P0.3 naming.

Load-safety theorem:

  loadSafe           : (ref : LiveRef refLife a) ->
                       Outlives refLife scopeLife ->
                       Nat
                       — the L9 guarantee in proof-term form: you
                         cannot dereference without first producing
                         an outlives witness.  Operational counterpart
                         is the existing `useRef` packaged via
                         `ValidIn`; `loadSafe` is the propositional
                         form asked for by PROOF-NEEDS.

  loadSafeOffset     : loadSafe ref p = refOffset ref
                       — behavioural lemma: load-safety returns the
                         stored offset and nothing more.

  loadSafeIrrelevant : loadSafe ref p = loadSafe ref q
                       — proof irrelevance at the value level; the
                         outlives witness can be erased without
                         changing the load result.
