As patched in #1597, `make_node_from_constant()` makes inconsistent and sometimes incorrect calls to `optimize()` and `transform()`.
Fix those issues properly by changing the semantics of `evaluate()` and `make_node_from_constant()`, with the side effect that `evaluate()` no longer eagerly converts constant to `AST_Node`.
Liberal use of `Compressor.transform()` and `AST_Node.optimize()` presents an issue for look-up operations like `TreeWalker.in_boolean_context()` and `TreeWalker.parent()`.
This is an incremental fix such that `AST_Node.optimize()` would now contain the correct stack information when called correctly.
Self-referenced function has non-fixed values assigned to its parameters.
Let `unused` & `!keep_fnames` do the scanning, then apply `reduce_vars` only to unnamed functions.
fixes#1595
- one-use function call => IIFE should take `eval()` & `arguments` into account
- if unused parameter cannot be eliminated, replace it with `0`
fixes#1583
those were not optimised for `unused` before, which made it necessary for `reduce_vars` to have separate steps for `keep_fnames`

closes#1577
Function expression can be assigned to a variable and be given a name. Ensure function name is the reduced variable before clearing it out.
fixes#1573fixes#1575
`unsafe` turns undefined keyword into a variable of the same name if found, but that interferes with other related optimisations.
Keep track of such transformations to ensure zero information loss in the process.
Bookmarklet for instance implicitedly assumes a "completion value" without using `return`.
The `expression` option now supports such use cases.
Optimisations on IIFEs also enhanced.

Avoid variable substitution in the following cases:
- use of variable before declaration
- declaration within conditional code blocks
- declaration within loop body
fixes#1518fixes#1525
Patched up `make_node()` without `orig`.
There may be other cases where `start` could be missing, so make it print "undefined" instead of crashing.
fixes#1518
Modules like webpack and grunt-contrib-uglify still uses `ast.transform(compressor)` before `Compressor.compress(ast)` was introduced.
Workaround this compatibility issue by deactivating `reduce_vars` in such case.
Also fix use case with omitted `options` when calling `Compressor()`.
fixes#1516
A function call or IIFE with an immediately preceding comment
containing `@__PURE__` or `#__PURE__` is deemed to be a
side-effect-free pure function call and can potentially be
dropped.
Depends on `side_effects` option.
`[#@]__PURE__` hint will be removed from comment when pure
call is dropped.
