## Language changes

Evaluate multiple assignment left hand side before right hand side
In regular assignment, Ruby evaluates the left hand side before
the right hand side. For example:
```ruby
foo[0] = bar
```
Calls `foo`, then `bar`, then `[]=` on the result of `foo`.
Previously, multiple assignment didn't work this way. If you did:
```ruby
abc.def, foo[0] = bar, baz
```
Ruby would previously call `bar`, then `baz`, then `abc`, then
`def=` on the result of `abc`, then `foo`, then `[]=` on the
result of `foo`.
This change makes multiple assignment similar to single assignment,
changing the evaluation order of the above multiple assignment code
to calling `abc`, then `foo`, then `bar`, then `baz`, then `def=` on
the result of `abc`, then `[]=` on the result of `foo`.
Implementing this is challenging with the stack-based virtual machine.
We need to keep track of all of the left hand side attribute setter
receivers and setter arguments, and then keep track of the stack level
while handling the assignment processing, so we can issue the
appropriate topn instructions to get the receiver. Here's an example
of how the multiple assignment is executed, showing the stack and
instructions:
```
self # putself
abc # send
abc, self # putself
abc, foo # send
abc, foo, 0 # putobject 0
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz] # evaluate RHS
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, bar # expandarray
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, bar, abc # topn 5
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, abc, bar # swap
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, def= # send
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz # pop
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, foo # topn 3
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, foo, 0 # topn 3
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, foo, 0, baz # topn 2
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, []= # send
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz # pop
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz] # pop
[bar, baz], foo, 0, [bar, baz] # setn 3
[bar, baz], foo, 0 # pop
[bar, baz], foo # pop
[bar, baz] # pop
```
As multiple assignment must deal with splats, post args, and any level
of nesting, it gets quite a bit more complex than this in non-trivial
cases. To handle this, struct masgn_state is added to keep
track of the overall state of the mass assignment, which stores a linked
list of struct masgn_attrasgn, one for each assigned attribute.
This adds a new optimization that replaces a topn 1/pop instruction
combination with a single swap instruction for multiple assignment
to non-aref attributes.
This new approach isn't compatible with one of the optimizations
previously used, in the case where the multiple assignment return value
was not needed, there was no lhs splat, and one of the left hand side
used an attribute setter. This removes that optimization. Removing
the optimization allowed for removing the POP_ELEMENT and adjust_stack
functions.
This adds a benchmark to measure how much slower multiple
assignment is with the correct evaluation order.
This benchmark shows:
* 4-9% decrease for attribute sets
* 14-23% decrease for array member sets
* Basically same speed for local variable sets
Importantly, it shows no significant difference between the popped
(where return value of the multiple assignment is not needed) and
!popped (where return value of the multiple assignment is needed)
cases for attribute and array member sets. This indicates the
previous optimization, which was dropped in the evaluation
order fix and only affected the popped case, is not important to
performance.

Add support for anonymous rest and keyword rest argument forwarding
This allows for the following syntax:
```ruby
def foo(*)
bar(*)
end
def baz(**)
quux(**)
end
```
This is a natural addition after the introduction of anonymous
block forwarding. Anonymous rest and keyword rest arguments were
already supported in method parameters, this just allows them to
be used as arguments to other methods. The same advantages of
anonymous block forwarding apply to rest and keyword rest argument
forwarding.
This has some minor changes to #parameters output. Now, instead
of `[:rest], [:keyrest]`, you get `[:rest, :*], [:keyrest, :**]`.
These were already used for `...` forwarding, so I think it makes
it more consistent to include them in other cases. If we want to
use `[:rest], [:keyrest]` in both cases, that is also possible.
I don't think the previous behavior of `[:rest], [:keyrest]` in
the non-... case and `[:rest, :*], [:keyrest, :**]` in the ...
case makes sense, but if we did want that behavior, we'll have to
make more substantial changes, such as using a different ID in the
... forwarding case.
