Phase 122 (continued): Optimize compiler and core files with auto and declare-on-first-use

Optimized local variables in:
- src/compiler/lcode.cpp: 18 conversions (offset, r1/r2, oldsize, k, n, etc.)
- src/compiler/parser.cpp: 14 conversions (regLevel, vidx, needed, extra, pc, line, etc.)
- src/core/lapi.cpp: 4 conversions (func, t, p, m)
- src/core/ldo.cpp: 9 conversions (firstres, delta, ftransfer, fsize, nfixparams, narg)

All changes use modern C++ auto type deduction for cleaner, more maintainable code.
Tests pass. Performance: 4.88s avg (5 runs).
