Optimize AsyncCallInstrumenter._call_in_positions

The optimization caches frequently accessed object attributes outside the inner loop to reduce redundant attribute lookups. In the `node_in_call_position` function, the original code repeatedly accessed `node.lineno`, `node.end_lineno`, `node.col_offset`, `node.end_col_offset`, and `pos.line_no` on every iteration of the `call_positions` loop.

The optimized version hoists these attribute lookups outside the loop:
- `node_lineno = node.lineno` 
- `node_end_lineno = node.end_lineno`
- `node_col_offset = node.col_offset`
- `node_end_col_offset = node.end_col_offset`
- `pos_line_no = pos.line_no` (inside the loop but outside the nested conditions)

This change is particularly effective for scenarios with many call positions to check, as evidenced by the large-scale test cases showing 57-148% speedup. The profiler data confirms the optimization reduces time spent on attribute access - the original spent 25.4% of time just on the `for pos in call_positions:` line accessing attributes, while the optimized version shows improved distribution of execution time.

Python attribute access involves dictionary lookups under the hood, so caching these values in local variables (which are stored in a fast array-based structure) provides significant performance gains when the same attributes are accessed repeatedly in tight loops.
