mruby-compiler: implement variable-sized AST nodes optimization

added variable-sized node structures for memory optimization:
- simple nodes: singleton values (self, nil, true, false) and constants
- advanced nodes: complex structures (rescue, ensure, block)
- size class allocation system (TINY, SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, XLARGE)
- NODE_VARIABLE wrapper for flexible memory layout
- removed NODE_ARG from variable-sized implementation per analysis
- fixed memory corruption issues in gen_block_var with stack allocation
- cleaned up consecutive blank lines and unused code
