agra 634cf9bc7f fix(parser): parse braced defer { … } body as a statement block (issue 0065)
A braced `defer` body routed through `parseExpr` + a mandatory trailing
`;`, so it parsed the `{ … }` as a block-EXPRESSION whose statement loop
doesn't handle a destructure decl or a `catch`-statement — `defer { v, e
:= f(); … }` and `defer { x() catch e … }` failed with "expected ';'",
and even `defer { stmt; }` needed a spurious trailing semicolon.

Now the `kw_defer` arm parses a braced body with `parseBlock` (the same
path `onfail` uses), so every statement form works; the bare-expression
form (`defer expr;`) is unchanged. `in_defer_body` is still set before
parsing, so the cleanup-body control-flow bans (return/break/continue/
try/raise) and the E1.7 failable-absorption check still fire.

Resolves the `defer` manifestation of issue 0065 (the general
value-block-in-binding-position destructure remains open). Regression:

// A braced `defer { … }` body parses as a full statement block (like `onfail`),
// so it supports every statement form — a destructure decl, a `catch`-statement,
// nested var decls — not just a single bare expression. Previously `defer { … }`
// routed through the expression parser and rejected those with "expected ';'".
//
// Regression (issue 0065).
