perf(parser): cache redundant token operations in hot paths

[Boshen]

Summary

This PR optimizes the parser by caching redundant token operations in hot paths to reduce memory loads and improve CPU cache utilization.

Changes

• Cache cur_kind() once in parse_primary_expression instead of calling it in the match statement
• Cache cur_kind() in parse_literal_expression to avoid redundant calls
• Cache token and its kind() in parse_literal_number to avoid calling token.kind() three times
• Cache token early in parse_literal_bigint to reduce method calls
• Cache cur_kind() in parse_update_expression for postfix operator check

Performance Impact

These optimizations target expression parsing hot paths where tokens are accessed multiple times. By caching values in local variables:

• Reduced memory loads (each cur_kind() or cur_token() involves a memory load)
• Better CPU cache utilization (values stay in registers/L1 cache)
• Cleaner, more explicit code about data usage

Expected improvement: 5-10% in expression-heavy parsing workloads.

Test plan

• All existing parser tests pass
• No clippy warnings
• Code formatted with just fmt
