fix(skillscan): keep a live client handle through a branch that rebinds it later (#7128)

* fix(skillscan): keep a live client handle through a branch that rebinds it later

The instance-client signal dropped every name a compound statement could bind
before walking any of its parts, so an outbound call that really happened first
disappeared when a later statement in that same body rebound the name
(issue #4296, case 1).

Dropping up front is what keeps a benign skill from being hard-blocked for the
parts that can *follow* a sibling's rebinding -- a `finally` after a handler
replaced the handle, an `else` after a loop body -- so those keep it. Parts that
cannot follow a sibling (an `if`/`elif`/`else` branch, the one `match` case that
runs, a `try` body, a loop body) are now walked with the enclosing handle intact
and apply their own bindings in source order, the rule the top level already
uses. Names the statement binds as it dispatches -- a loop target, an
`except ... as` name, a `match` capture -- stay dropped before every part.

* fix(skillscan): walk a compound header before dropping its dispatch bindings

A loop target, an `except ... as` name and a `match` capture bind only after
that header has been evaluated, so dropping them first hid a real sink written
in the header itself: `for s in s.post(...)` with `s` a live handle reported
nothing, while the same call under a differently named target was found. Move
the drop to after the header loop and before the parts, which is all
`_branching_parts` needs; the body still starts with those names gone, so the
loop-value case stays unreported.

Raised in review on #7128. Pins the two header shapes, the inverse that keeps
the body conservative, and the three paths the review called out as unpinned:
the mutually-exclusive two-level `if`/`elif` case, a `while` body, and a `try`
`else` after a body rebind.

"""Analyze a compound statement without deciding which of its parts run, or in what order.
"""Analyze a compound statement part by part, dropping only the bindings that can already be stale.
Every name the statement may bind is dropped *before* any body is walked, not after. Dropping
afterwards would be wrong for the parts that run after a sibling has already rebound the name --
a `finally` after a handler replaced the handle, a later `except*` clause, a second loop
iteration -- and each of those disagreements is a benign file hard-blocked as `CRITICAL`.
Ordering the parts instead of dropping is the control-flow interpreter this signal is not.
A name is dropped before a part is walked when some *other* part of the same statement can run
before it and rebind that name: an `else` after a loop body, a `finally` after a handler replaced
the handle, a later `except*` clause. Reading such an earlier path's rebind as still live is a
benign file hard-blocked as `CRITICAL`.
Bodies are still walked, each from its own copy, so a construction inside one branch cannot leak
into a sibling and a sink inside a branch is still seen. What is lost is a name that the same
statement both calls and rebinds; that is the documented false negative.
A part that cannot follow a sibling -- a branch of an `if`/`elif`/`else` chain, the one `match`
case that runs, a `try` body, a loop body -- is walked with the enclosing handle intact, and the
part then applies its own rebinding in source order. That is the rule the top level already uses,
where a rebind after a call cannot retract it, and it is what stops a call that really happened
from disappearing because a later statement in that same part rebinds the name (issue #4296,
case 1).
Names the statement binds as it dispatches -- a loop target, an `except ... as` name, a `match`
capture -- are dropped after the header is walked and before every part, because the header is
evaluated while those bindings do not exist yet: a sink in `for s in s.post(...)` really happens
under the enclosing handle. Everything the statement may bind is then dropped from the enclosing
scope once its parts are walked, so a binding made inside a part never reaches the code that
follows the statement.
