Phase 133 Part 2: Additional Compiler Expression Variables (10 more functions)

**Part C Continued: Code Generation Helpers** (10 additional functions)
- dischargevars: expr (45+ case statements)
- self: receiver, methodKey, receiverReg, baseRegister
- goiftrue: expr, jumpPosition
- goiffalse: expr, jumpPosition
- setreturns: expr, resultCount
- setoneret: expr
- prefix: operation, expr, fakeOperand

**Total Progress**:
- Part A: 6 functions ✅
- Part B: 14 functions ✅
- Part C: 16 functions ✅
- **Grand Total: 36 functions modernized**

**Impact**: Comprehensive identifier improvements across core compiler
- Method calls: self(e, key) → self(receiver, methodKey)
- Control flow: goiftrue/goiffalse with expr, jumpPosition
- Returns: setreturns with expr, resultCount
- Unary ops: prefix with operation, expr, fakeOperand
- Variable discharge: dischargevars with expr

**Files**: src/compiler/lcode.cpp (~36 functions, ~250+ variable occurrences)
**Testing**: All tests pass ✅ (2.10s, maintained performance)
**Risk**: LOW (compiler-only, no hot-path impact)
