agra 82d6b8da0e fix(0117): pointer-to-array indexing auto-derefs
A '*[N]T' receiver in an index expression reached LLVM emission with an
unresolved element type and tripped the panic sentinel — no read or
write spelling worked. ptrToArrayElem on Lowering recognises the shape;
the index READ path GEPs the pointee array through the pointer value
and loads the element; the write / compound-assign / lvalue /
addr-of-element paths and the expression typer resolve the element type
through the same helper (their GEP machinery already handled a pointer
base). Kept out of getElementType so slice paths don't half-accept a
raw pointer base.

Regression: examples/0176 (read, write, compound, element ptr + deref).

// Indexing through a pointer-to-array auto-derefs: `p : *[N]T` makes
// `p[i]` GEP the pointee array and load the element, and `p[i] = v` /
// `p[i] += v` store through it — mirroring the struct-pointer auto-deref
// on field access. Writes through the pointer are visible in the
// original array and vice versa.
//
// Regression (issue 0117): this shape used to reach LLVM emission with
// an unresolved element type and panic.
