M2.9: budget lambda work and bound wildcard substring search

Sweep findings from the ac8da7d4 security scan (storytold-gridcraft-agent-
findings.json), remaining on main at 72c1d57d:

- finding 14 (crates/calc/src/eval.rs:988): every lambda invocation now
  spends one charge against a per-cell work budget (16M — one per cell of
  the largest array a reference may expand to), so a hostile, deeply
  nested LAMBDA/LET formula stops at the bound a legitimately wide one
  could reach instead of growing exponentially with nesting. Exhaustion
  is #CALC!, like the existing depth cap. Metered at `call_lambda_values`
  so every path into a body is counted (direct application, MAP/REDUCE/
  SCAN/BYROW/BYCOL/MAKEARRAY, D-function criteria); the criteria
  sub-evaluator hands its spend back to the parent.
- finding 16 (crates/functions/src/criteria.rs:313): `match_from` takes a
  step budget (1<<26: an honest match against Excel's 32,767-char cell
  ceiling costs a few hundred thousand steps), and `wildcard_find` drops
  the leading star run (a no-op for a prefix match) so the first literal
  anchor skips straight to its occurrences; all suffix attempts share one
  budget. Star churn degrades to no-match instead of quadratic work.

Unit tests: mock-host exhaustion/under-budget for lambda applications
(eval::fuel_tests), nested REDUCE under budget in full recalc, wildcard
behaviour unchanged.
