agra d4edf4b4b0 fix: method on array-index/deref receiver mutates the live place (issue 0145)
A *self method called directly on arr[i] (or a deref place) fell through to an
alloca+store-of-value, so the callee mutated a throwaway copy and the live slot
was never written. fixupMethodReceiver now takes the real address of
.index_expr/.deref_expr receivers via lowerExprAsPtr (normalized to *T),
mirroring the explicit-argument path. A comptime-pack index (xs[i] where xs is
a pack) is excluded -- a pack has no runtime storage to address -- so it keeps
flowing through the general copy path.

// A `*self` method called directly on an array-index place (`arr[i].method()`)
// must mutate the LIVE array slot, not a throwaway copy. `fixupMethodReceiver`
// now takes the real address of `.index_expr`/`.deref_expr` receivers (via
// `lowerExprAsPtr`), mirroring the explicit-argument path — instead of falling
// through to an alloca+store-of-value that the callee then mutates in vain.
//
