qa-arch hygiene: abort rationales + LOC allowlist + includes? fix

Folded into v0.102.1's adversarial-test cycle:

- 11 abort() sites that were missing rationale now carry one-line
  Class I comments (init-time OOM, GC invariant violations,
  mutex init failures, core eval failures). The detector only
  reads the immediately preceding line, so multi-line rationale
  comments above unrelated lines didn't count -- comments moved
  closer or made inline.

- 11 pre-existing TU-size FAILs (val.c, bignum.c, module.c,
  ns.c, numeric.c, reflection.c, sequences.c, stm.c, string.c,
  state.c, imath.c) formalised on the tu-allowlist with
  rationale. Splitting these is the right answer for at least
  numeric.c at 2326 LOC, but that is a refactor cycle, not a
  patch. Pre-existing function-size FAILs added to the
  fn-allowlist (mino_eq, mino_print_to, prim_require, the
  module.c load_ns_file path).

- Latent bug fix in check-large-fn: it called unqualified
  includes? which resolved to nothing. Symptom: any allowlisted
  function entry whose file matched the FAILing function would
  abort qa-arch with "unbound symbol: includes?". Reproduced
  while adding mino_eq to the allowlist; previous allowlist
  entries (eval_impl, read_form) never matched because their
  files never had failing functions. Fixed to str/includes?.

task qa-arch now PASSes.
