lib:*: Blessed gap-fillers and project-native modules

The lib:* namespace contains modules that do not fit cleanly into either std:* (which mirrors the Rust standard library) or vnd:* (which exposes single vendored crates). Two kinds of module live here: blessed gap-fillers that plug a hole the Rust standard library does not cover (such as lib:base64), and project-native modules written specifically for neoc (such as lib:test and lib:json).

A module qualifies for lib:* when its purpose is well-defined, its surface is stable, and it is genuinely useful to most scripts. Speculative or experimental functionality belongs elsewhere until it has earned a place here.
