Dylan Hunn 29bf476bfe refactor(compiler): Generate temporary variable assignments when function calls appear in a safe-access expression. (#50688)
The expression `a()?.b` should expand into `(tmp = a()) === null ? null : tmp.b`, in order to avoid calling the function `a()` twice.

This commit modifies the null-safe-expansion algorithm to emit temporary assignments, and provides the reification code to actually generate the declarations, assignments, and reads.

Note also that, with our bottom-up algorithm, there are some tricky cases when a function call exists inside an indexed access, such as `f1()?.[f2()?.a]?.b`. We add some special logic to avoid generating a double-assignment to the temporary storing the result of `f2()`.

Finally, there are opportunities to reuse the same temporary in expressions like `a?.[f()]?.[f()]`. We save this for the next commit.
