Expand nested conditional operators back into if-else

HandleConditionalOperator collapses `if (c) a = x; else a = y;` into a
conditional operator, innermost first, and keeps going for as long as the
chain does. A source else-if ladder therefore comes back as one expression,
however long it was: the sample in #2027 decompiles to a single
2095-character statement, and one NLog method to 2230 characters nested 29
brackets deep.

ExpandNestedConditionals undoes that past one level, so a statement keeps at
most a single conditional operator.

It runs at the end of the pipeline rather than inside ExpressionTransforms,
because every transform that needs its input to be a single expression has
to see the collapsed form first: object and collection initializers, `with`,
switch expressions, interpolated string handlers, and the query lambdas the
C# stage later rewrites into clauses. Cutting the chain earlier leaves an
if-else between the statements they pattern-match on and they silently stop
matching - an object initializer assigning an init-only member then does not
even compile. The same reasoning ReduceNestingTransform gives for walking
back ConditionDetection's aggressive else-inlining once the structure is
settled.

A chain already stored to a variable is expanded into that variable, so
nothing has to be decided: the variable carries its own type. A chain in any
other position - an argument, a return value, a field store - has nothing to
expand into, and ILExtraction can give it one. The temporary ILExtraction
creates is typed from the stack type though, where `I4` is `int`, `bool`,
`char` and every enum at once, so extracting on that basis turned a bool
into `int num` with `if (num == 0)` and an enum into
`dbType = (IsFixedLength ? 22 : 0)`.

InferExpectedType is the counterpart to InferType that answers this: where
InferType asks what a value is, it asks what the position the value flows
into says it should be - a parameter, a return type, a field, all of which
carry their type in metadata. Extraction is done only where that question
has an answer, and the temporary is typed from it. The receiver of a call
then reads `XPathNavigator xPathNavigator`, not `object obj` with a cast
back, and a field store keeps its enum's member names.

The Pretty fixture covers what must NOT change: an array initializer, a
query lambda, a ref local, a switch expression, an object initializer with
an init-only member, a `with` expression, a catch-when filter and both
constructor-initializer forms. The positive case is an ILPretty test,
because a Pretty fixture is its own input and expected output, and a chain
that round-trips through collapse and expansion has no fixed point there.
The PdbGen test records the cost in breakpoints: the compiler's single
sequence point for the collapsed statement becomes one per expanded
statement, which is inherent to splitting a statement in two.
