fix: address PR review comments

- Copy fn pointer out of CUSTOM_MODULES lock before calling module
  declaration to prevent potential deadlock (spin::Mutex not re-entrant)
- Move cargo:rerun-if-env-changed=HYPERLIGHT_JS_RUNTIME_PATH before the
  match so Cargo tracks the env var even when unset; use canonical path
  for rerun-if-changed
- Lock down globalThis.console binding (non-writable/non-configurable)
  after Object.freeze to prevent handler code replacing it entirely
- Fix test doc comment: built-in overrides work except for require
