Invariants that involve types (stack type of a variable against its IType,
the element type of an array access, the operand types of a comparison)
need a type system to resolve them against, and the only correct one is the
type system the instruction tree was decoded with. Until now CheckInvariant
took only the phase, so such a check had no compilation to use:
DeconstructInstruction.CheckInvariant called IsAssignment with a null type
system, which only held up because the targets it sees are ldloc, whose
InferType never touches the compilation; a ldflda-wrapped or pointer target
would have failed inside the invariant instead of reporting a violation.
Every call site already has that type system in scope: the ILReader's
compilation, the ILTransformContext of the running transform, or the
decompiler's own IDecompilerTypeSystem. It is now passed explicitly and the
base implementation asserts it is present, so a future invariant can rely
on it without re-plumbing the callers.

The C# debug-steps view highlights and centers the exact AST node a
transform changed; the ILAst view already had the step tree and
replay-at-step but produced no highlight. Bring it to parity.
IL rendering has no token-writer seam like the C# output visitor, so
per-instruction text spans are recorded by bracketing
ILInstruction.WriteTo via a new INodeTrackingOutput. The dominant
inst.ReplaceWith(newInst) transform pattern detaches the instruction
passed to Step, so ILTransformContext gains EndStep to record the
produced instruction; Stepper additionally records the position's
ancestor chain as fallback candidates before the step-limit throw, so
the "show state before" view -- which halts at the selected step --
still resolves to a surviving ancestor (ultimately the ILFunction).
The highlight-range resolver is shared with the C# language.

- add support for unknown delegate construction pattern. The method is compiler-generated, but has no compiler-generated name, we should be able to infer lambda usage from anonymous types used in the signature (i. e., the method can only be used as lambda, because that's where type names are optional).
- Add CombineExitsTransform in DelegateConstruction: this allows combining lambdas with multiple return statements into a single expression (as it is expected by query expressions).
