perf(codegen): count property/index stores as GC safepoints in the spill estimate (#8583)

[proggeramlug]

Extends the literal-counting spill estimate (count_safepoint_sites, #8583). A property/index store (PropertySet, PropertyUpdate, IndexSet) lowers to a collecting runtime call (js_class_field_set_ic / js_set_property / the array-set helpers) that rewrite-statepoints-for-gc gives a statepoint — but none were counted.

A closed-shape object literal compiles to a constructor that is one long run of this.field = v stores. With the stores uncounted, the constructor's estimate was ~0, it was never spilled to the shadow frame, and RS4GC grew one __AnonShape_*_constructor in the Claude Code 2.1.112 bundle from 34,009 → 2,280,128 instructions, overrunning the #8586 per-function budget and refusing the whole module (it was the last blocker to a working cc binary).

Reads (PropertyGet/IndexGet) are deliberately not counted — they frequently inline to a shape-cached load with no call, so counting them would over-spill read-heavy hot loops. Unit test added (property_and_index_stores_are_safepoints); cargo test -p perry-codegen --lib safepoint_sites green.

Note: this improves estimate accuracy. Fully spilling that constructor at the default threshold also needs the spill threshold reconciled with the #8586 budget (tracked separately — #8623's 32M sits above the 1.57M budget); see follow-up issue.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved garbage-collection safety for code containing property and array updates.
  • Fixed undercounting of safepoints in constructors with many field assignments, preventing instruction-budget failures during compilation.
  • Added coverage for property stores, index stores, and update expressions.
• Documentation
  • Documented the updated safepoint counting behavior and clarified that property and index reads remain unaffected.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The safepoint collector now counts property and index stores as safepoints. Tests cover property stores, index stores with nested calls, and excluded property reads. A changelog entry documents the fix and its constructor-spilling impact.

Add coverage for PropertyUpdate and IndexGet.

The test covers PropertySet, IndexSet, and PropertyGet. Add assertions that PropertyUpdate contributes one safepoint and IndexGet contributes zero. Regressions in these explicit branches can otherwise pass the test suite.

Landed on main via #8680 (squash 81ddd46b2), together with the rest of this batch.

Validated on the merged 4-PR result rather than per-branch: 9 ratchet gates + cargo fmt --check pass, perry-codegen --lib 1194/0, perry-runtime --lib 2651/0 at RUST_TEST_THREADS=1. The squashed tree was verified byte-identical to the merged tree before push.

Version bump stripped per maintainer policy (the Cargo.lock diff was version-only); your changelog.d/ fragment carried through unchanged. Thanks!
