fix(gen-c): [T;N] param types, test-block bindings, two-arg assert macro

[gHashTag]

Applying the Zig-campaign methodology to the C backend (gcc -fsyntax-only over tri-net's 68 legacy specs), three systematic fixes take validity from 64/68 invalid to 8/68:

1. Rust-style [T; N] parameter types lower to T* -- previously the element type was read from AFTER the ] (Zig-style), emitting a bare * name.
2. Test-block bindings are declared on first assignment (uint64_t b0 = ...; -- the C twin of the Verilog gen-verilog-sim: test-block local bindings emitted as assignments without reg declarations #1894 / Zig defects); tuple targets bind the struct return once via GNU __auto_type (gcc + clang) and peel .f0/.f1.
3. t27's two-argument assert(cond, "msg") lowers to a self-contained t27_assert macro with the message literal RE-QUOTED -- bare unquoted words previously hit C's one-argument assert macro and even leaked non-ASCII message text into identifier position.

The eight remaining failures are distinct one-offs enumerated in #1919 (array-returning fns, _ redefinition, scalar-from-tuple binding, two call-site arity mismatches that look like genuine spec bugs, an oversized literal, one parse error). Unit suite 1537/1537 (== master); other backends untouched; FROZEN_HASH resealed; NOW.md + docs/NOW.md updated.
