mruby-compiler: implement variable-sized AST nodes for control flow constructs

Add variable-sized node structures for all control flow statements:
- IF/ELSIF/ELSE statements with optimized condition handling
- WHILE and UNTIL loops with proper jump generation
- FOR loops with iterator support
- CASE/WHEN statements with multiple condition matching

Key changes:
- Added variable-sized node structures (mrb_ast_if_node, mrb_ast_while_node,
  mrb_ast_until_node, mrb_ast_case_node, mrb_ast_for_node) to node.h
- Implemented parser functions with size class allocation in parse.y
- Added comprehensive codegen support with proper jump handling and
  stack management in codegen.c
- All control flow nodes now use NODE_VARIABLE wrapper for consistency
- Variable-sized nodes enabled by default for improved memory efficiency

This provides memory-efficient storage for control flow constructs while
maintaining full compatibility with existing functionality.
