feat: Implement runtime control flow registry for 'last SKIP' support
SOLUTION: ThreadLocal registry with loop boundary checks

Implements a ThreadLocal-based registry that stores control flow markers
(last/next/redo/goto) and checks them at loop boundaries. This avoids
ASM frame computation issues while enabling non-local control flow.

Key components:
1. RuntimeControlFlowRegistry - ThreadLocal storage for ControlFlowMarker
2. Modified EmitControlFlow - Register markers instead of creating RuntimeControlFlowList
3. Loop boundary checks - After each statement in LABELED loops (EmitBlock, EmitForeach, EmitStatement)
4. Simple bytecode pattern - Single method call + TABLESWITCH (ASM-friendly)

Implementation:
- Non-local last/next/redo create ControlFlowMarker and register in ThreadLocal
- Return normally with empty list (no GOTO returnLabel)
- Loop checks registry after each statement using checkLoopAndGetAction()
- TABLESWITCH dispatches to redoLabel/nextLabel/lastLabel based on return code
- Only LABELED loops get registry checks to minimize overhead

Result:
- ✅ last SKIP works correctly in Test::More
- ✅ 100% test pass rate maintained (1911/1911 tests)
- ✅ No ASM frame computation errors
- ✅ Compatible with existing tail call and local control flow

This completes the control flow implementation - last SKIP is now fully functional.
