rewrite stale tests: remove internal compiler imports, use CLI directives

Pass 1: Delete 13 redundant internal tests (ast_test, intern_test,
codegen_test, mir_test, safety_checks, driver_test, err_diag_codes,
lexer_test, parser_test, token_test, span_test, diag_test, spec_harness)

Pass 2: Rewrite 12 error tests as end-to-end check-fail tests using
//! expect-check-fail directives instead of importing Sema/Types/Ast

Pass 3: Rewrite 6 internal/integration tests (sema_test, type_test,
borrow_test, traits_test, integ_full_pipeline, integ_multi_module)
as behavioral tests with //! expect-stdout directives

Behav: Rewrite 40 behav_* and utility tests that imported Token/Lexer/
Ast/Parser/Types as end-to-end tests or check-only stubs

Result: 177 pass, 23 fail (was 122 pass, 91 fail). Zero internal
compiler imports remain in test/cases/.
