Geoff Romer 11eaeeda7d Restructure handling of expressions in patterns (#7445)
Instead of maintaining a stack of pending subpatterns which might or
might not contain expressions, we mark non-nesting regions during
pattern handling that might contain an expression. The implementation
remains largely the same; the difference is that callers are expected to
end a pending expression region as soon as possible, rather than wait
for the end of the subpattern. This makes it possible to emit
non-pattern insts during pattern handling, without the risk that they
will get caught in a pending expression region further up the stack.

// pending are treated as part of the expression. These intervals do not nest:
// we can't start an interval if an `ExprRegion` is already pending.

// To ensure that each start has a matching end, without nesting, callers should
// maintain the invariant that an `ExprRegion` is pending before handling the
