+*Part 3 ref-to-ref binding LANDED* (PR #395, Refs #177): `let r2 = r`
+and `r2 = r` (where `r` is a ref-binder) extend the borrow-graph by
+aliasing `r2` to the same borrow `r` holds; `ref_source_borrow` unifies
+`&p` / `&mut p` / ref-var cases so `record_ref_binding` and the
+`StmtAssign` reborrow block both reach through one extra level of
+indirection. Closes the reborrow-through-indirection gap.

+2-iteration check on `StmtWhile`/`StmtFor`. Body runs once; state-fields

+rejection of `@linear`-binding capture by a closure. Closures may be
+called 0..N times, so capturing a `@linear`/`QOne` binding lifts its
+consumption count out of the borrow checker's finite-once proof.
