Improved catch handling in `figure_out_scope()` means special case treatment of IE8 is no longer valid in `reset_opt_flags()`.
Also fixed recursive assignment in variable definition.
`AST_Node.optimize()` is context-aware, so don't cache its results to be used elsewhere.
Also fixed a few cases of AST corruption and beef up safety of `pure_getters`.
- property access to `null` & `undefined` always has side effects
- utilise `reduce_vars` to determine safe property access
- may-be cases treated as side effects unless `unsafe`
Although it would be nice to enforce `AST_Node` cloning during transformation, that ship has sailed a long time ago.
We now get the assigned value when resolving `AST_SymbolRef` instead of `reset_opt_flags()`, which has the added advantage of improved compressor efficiency.
fixes#1787
- fix side effects in switch condition for singular blocks
- fix `undefined` confusion with local variable
- gate `OPT(AST_Switch)` with `switches`
