build: remove dist/ when a release build fails (closes #333)

With AUTISTMASK_DEBUG=1 exported in the calling shell, make build compiled a
debug bundle and failed on it in script/verify-build, but left the bundle in
dist/: loadable, with every wallet it creates using the publicly committed test
recovery phrase from src/shared/constants.js. A failed release build that leaves
a loadable debug build behind is the trap the verifier exists to close.

Every step of make build now runs through script/discard-dist-on-failure, which
removes dist/ when its step fails and says on stderr that it did and why, then
returns the step's own exit status. A removal it cannot complete is reported as
loudly as one it can, naming what is still on disk. A step that succeeds removes
nothing, including the final check-censored --require-dist pass. It composes
with the existing receipt trap: the receipt is still deleted on the way out.

make build-debug is deliberately not wrapped. A debug build that failed is not
producing an artifact mistakable for a release one, and its dist/ is the
evidence of what went wrong.

script/test-verify-build asserts the state of dist/ on disk after a failing and
a succeeding step rather than the exit status alone, plus a step that fails with
no dist/ and a wrapper handed no command, and reads make -n to check the wrapper
is on the release path and absent from the debug one. Both directions were also
run end to end: AUTISTMASK_DEBUG=1 make build fails and leaves no dist/, plain
make build passes with all 15 emitted files intact, and a debug build failed
mid-write keeps its dist/.

verify-build itself is unchanged; this is only what happens after it says no.
