Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 8c36e227e7 mruby-compiler: implement head-only location optimization for ast nodes
This implements a memory optimization for AST nodes that stores location
information (lineno, filename_index) only in head nodes rather than in
every node, reducing memory usage for structure nodes.

Key changes:
- Split node types: mrb_ast_node (structure nodes without location),
  mrb_ast_head_node (with location info). Sizes are platform-dependent:
  8/12 bytes on 32-bit, 16/24 bytes on 64-bit platforms
- Separate allocation: cons() creates structure nodes, cons_head()
  creates head nodes with location information
- Node recycling: all nodes are recycled when freed, but only smaller
  structure nodes are reused from the free list to maintain type safety
- Updated macro: added headn() for consistent head node casting
- Removed NODE_LINENO macro: eliminated redundant location copying
  since head-only optimization already provides adequate location info
- Fixed codegen to properly access location fields via head node casts

This optimization reduces AST memory usage while preserving all
debugging and location information functionality.
