fix(ltl): eliminate implies and bounded-always false-negatives

Rewrite a -> b to (not a) or b in NNF so a pending temporal antecedent
can no longer defer the whole implication and drop a consequent that was
false at the current step. Carry a pending inner past a bounded-Always
window close instead of dropping it to holds, so a deferred obligation is
resolved by a later step or Finalize.
