feat(formal): verify + wire Rows.v (P-11 record-row soundness) (#648)

## What

`Rows.v` (P-11, record-row soundness) landed in #639 as an
**explicitly-unverified scaffold** — the authoring container had no Coq
toolchain, so it shipped un-wired with a loud UNVERIFIED banner. This PR
closes that loop: I installed **Coq 8.18.0 (OCaml 4.14.1 — the repo's
pinned toolchain)** and verified it.

```
coqc -Q . ASFormal Rows.v                    → clean
Print Assumptions progress / preservation    → "Closed under the global context"
```

The hand-written proofs compiled **first try**, axiom-free, no
`Admitted`. So the scaffold is promoted to a real, wired obligation.

## Changes
- **`formal/_CoqProject` + `formal/justfile` `check`**: add `Rows` (the
recipe fails on any axiom/`Admitted`, so this now gates `Rows` too).
- **`formal/Rows.v`**: UNVERIFIED banner → verified/wired note; dropped
the stale "Target:" / "lift into Siblings_Stated" wording.
- **`formal/README.adoc`**: contents-table row + a "Record rows (P-11)"
prose section.
- **`docs/PROOF-NEEDS.adoc`**: new **P-11** obligation row
(`mechanized`); refreshed Coq-core counts to **18 files / 31 `Print
Assumptions` reports** (also fixes the long-stale "13 files" intro
line).
- **`.hypatia-ignore`**: de-stale the `Rows.v` comment (now mechanized +
wired).

## Verification (run in this environment)
- Full track re-compiled end to end via the justfile check list: **18
files, 31 closure reports, zero axioms**.
- `Rows.v` re-verified standalone after the comment edits.
- `dune build` clean; `tools/check-soundness-ledger.sh` green
(`SOUNDNESS.adoc` untouched).

## Scope
Unchanged from #639: **Wave W0** (monomorphic extensible records —
empty/extend/select/restrict over a `lacks`-checked row). Row-*variable*
polymorphism (true row polymorphism) is the **W1** increment, noted on
the P-11 row as the next rung.
