Record AST transform groups and mutation steps through the C# pipeline, replay selected steps with the stepper, and carry modified-node ranges through output so the Debug Steps pane can highlight the selected mutation without replacing its full step tree.

The generator emits a Slots holder of typed CSharpSlotInfo<T> kind constants (T is
the child type, widened to AstNode for the few kinds reused with several child
types). Call sites whose kind maps to a single type switch from
GetChildByRole<T>(SlotKind.X) to GetChild(Slots.X), inferring the result type from
the slot. The ByRole methods and SlotKind remain for the multi-type Attribute
accessor and the internal add/insert plumbing, removed in following steps.

GetChildByRole<T> returned default! while it can legitimately yield null (empty slot
or a kind the node does not declare); it now returns T?. Callers that already null-checked
are unchanged; the few that rely on a structural guarantee (name tokens, label identifier,
property accessors) now state it with an explicit !, and MethodDeclaration drops a redundant
cast that the lie required.
Also removes two members left dead by the Role removal: the AddAnnotation override that
only forwarded to the base, and GetCSharpNodeBefore, which ignored 'this' and had no callers.
On the output path, GetChildNodes() allocates a snapshot List per call; the read-only
.Children traversals that never mutate the tree now walk the live FirstChild/NextSibling chain
(O(n), allocation-free, since child indices are cached), an EmptyStatement child check uses
HasChildren, and the label-statement sibling scan breaks on the first match instead of walking
to the end of the block. The generated GetChildNodes snapshot is kept where traversal may mutate.

Turn on #nullable enable across the AST consumer layer: the output visitor, the
IL-to-C# builders (statement, call and expression builders, CSharpDecompiler,
TypeSystemAstBuilder), the translation-result wrappers, the sequence-point and
required-namespace collectors, and the annotation helpers. Optional inputs,
fields and returns are typed nullable, detector out-parameters use
[NotNullWhen(true)], and structurally-guaranteed dereferences use the
null-forgiving operator. A few public parameters that already tolerate null are
widened to match their downstream callers. The annotations emit no IL, so the
Pretty suite stays byte-identical.

Slot identity already lived in node.Slot/CSharpSlotInfo/SlotKind after
the storage flip, so the parallel Role/Role<T> child model was redundant.
The Role-keyed mutation/query API is reexpressed over SlotKind, and the
role-index packing on AstNode flags is gone.
Because a node's Slot is now derived from its index in its parent rather
than stored on the child, the located-AST reattach in
InsertMissingTokensDecorator must capture the child's slot kind before
Remove() detaches it.

With every optional slot nullable, the null-object pattern is dead. Generated
non-nullable getters return the backing field directly, which surfaced a last
tier of slots the decompiler legitimately leaves empty (omitted range operands,
an implicitly-typed array creation, unnamed parameters, an unbound generic
argument, and others) and flips them to nullable too. The machinery is then
removed entirely: the per-node null classes, the .Null statics and
VisitNullNode, AstNode.IsNull, the role null object, and Identifier.Null.
AcceptVisitor becomes unconditionally generated, and consumers move from
.IsNull to is null and from unconditional visits to ?.AcceptVisitor.

Turn on #nullable enable across the AST transform pipeline, ahead of
annotating the slot properties themselves. TransformContext now exposes the
nullable CurrentMember/CurrentTypeDefinition/CurrentModule contract already
declared by ITypeResolveContext, and the generated pattern-to-node conversion
returns a non-null node so patterns can be used in collection initializers
without warnings. No IL changes.
