Refactor: Implement late stack size calculation

This commit introduces a new mechanism for calculating the required
stack size for closures at bind time, rather than storing it in the AST.
This is achieved by adding a `calculate_stack_size` method to
`BoundNode`.

Key changes include:
- `BoundNode::calculate_stack_size`: Recursively traverses the bound AST
  to find the maximum `LocalSlot` index used.
- Recursion blocker for lambdas: Ensures that nested lambdas are not
  visited during stack size calculation for the outer closure,
  preventing incorrect stack size estimations.
- VM update: The `VM::run` method now accepts and uses the
  pre-calculated stack size for setting up call frames.
- `Closure` struct update: Stores the `stack_size` directly within the
  `Closure` struct.
- Binder and TypeChecker updates: Minor adjustments to accommodate the
  new strategy and error reporting.
- Optimizer enhancements: Constant and pure-lambda propagation for
  `Define` statements within blocks to ensure inlinability.

This refactoring addresses issues related to accurate stack size
management and improves the overall robustness of the binder and VM.
