feat: multi-stmt match arms and block-as-expression

Blocks can yield a value: last expression statement is the result.
Match arms accept block bodies, so multi-statement arms work:

  match n {
    1 => { let a = 10; a + 1 },
    _ => 0
  }

Bootstrap: lowerBlock(asExpr) lifts the trailing skExpr. Selfhost: parse
{...} as ekBlock, emit __blk_N yield temps (retTypeKind -2), and treat
only non-empty strValue as match/block yield. Nested enum/struct pattern
bindings recurse in both compilers.

Example: match_block.bux. Selfhost-loop remains binary-identical.
