Bug 201251 – [WHLSL] Add back a version of the property resolver

• Component: WebGPU
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Saam Barati]

The goal will be to:
- make each property access's base effect free so metal codegen can emit 
- make the leftmost base of RMW effect free so we can emit the "leftValue()" twice

[Saam Barati]

and add back all the property resolver tests that make sense in this new world

[Saam Barati]

also we'll want the "high zombie finder" to have some new rules

I think it's done, I just want to write some more tests

This pattern of
```
while(true) {
..
chain.append(current);
if (is<AST::PropertyAccessExpression>(current.base()))
  continue;
Tons of code that only executes once
break;
}
```
is not super readable. It is probably not worth modifying now, but I am curious, why not just use the loop to accumulate the chain:
```
while (is<AST::PropertyAccessExpression>(current.base())) {
  append to chain
  current = *currentPtr;
}
tons of code that manipulate current but are now outside of the loop
```

There is no guarantee that the WTFMove later on will empty-out m_variables.
I think you need to either empty it by hand, or more simply to construct a different PropertyResolver for each function definition in resolveProperties.

I am unclear on whether it is better to pass UniqueRef<Expression> or UniqueRef<Expression>&& here.

fixed.

that's how move constructor of Vector works. It swaps with empty vector, so it should be emptied out.

I prefer what I did here since it expressed the fact that this function now has ownership over the UniqueRef. I'm not a fan of passing around rvalue refs since it doesn't actually guarantee that ownership will be transferred.

This patch turns out to create comma expressions on the left-side of assignments.
It is not something which could otherwise happen. Do we want to support it, or to change this pass?
