mruby-compiler: implement variable-sized nodes for operators and expressions

Implements variable-sized nodes for operators and expressions
(NODE_NEGATE, NODE_COLON2, NODE_COLON3) with optimized memory
allocation.  These nodes now use compact variable-sized structures
instead of fixed-size headers, reducing AST memory usage.
