Optimize CommentMapper.visit_FunctionDef

The optimized code achieves an 11% speedup through several targeted micro-optimizations that reduce attribute lookups and function call overhead in the hot path:

**Key Optimizations:**

1. **Local Variable Caching**: Frequently accessed attributes (`self.context_stack`, `self.original_runtimes`, etc.) are stored in local variables at function start, eliminating repeated `self.` lookups in tight loops.

2. **Method Reference Caching**: `self.get_comment` is cached as `get_comment`, and `context_stack.append`/`pop` are stored locally, reducing method lookup overhead in the main processing loop.

3. **Type Tuple Pre-computation**: The commonly used type tuples for `isinstance` checks are stored in local variables (`_stmt_types`, `_node_stmt_assign`), avoiding tuple creation on every iteration.

4. **Optimized Node Collection**: The inefficient pattern of creating a list then extending it (`nodes_to_check = [...]; nodes_to_check.extend(...)`) is replaced with conditional unpacking (`[compound_line_node, *body_attr]` or `[compound_line_node]`), reducing list operations.

5. **f-string Usage**: String concatenations for `inv_id` and `match_key` are converted to f-strings, which are faster than concatenation operations.

**Performance Characteristics:**
- Best gains on **large-scale test cases** (24.9-32.5% faster) with many nested blocks or statements, where the micro-optimizations compound
- Minimal overhead on **simple cases** (0.6-7.9% variance), showing the optimizations don't hurt baseline performance
- Most effective when processing complex ASTs with deep nesting, as seen in the `test_large_many_nested_blocks` (24.9% faster) and `test_large_sparse_runtime_keys` (32.5% faster) cases

The optimizations target the innermost loops where attribute lookups and object creation happen most frequently, making them particularly effective for batch AST processing workflows.
