⚡️ Speed up function function_has_return_statement by 90%

Here’s a faster rewrite. The original code uses `ast.walk`, which traverses the entire subtree, yielding all nodes. Our target is to determine if any `ast.Return` exists; we can short-circuit the search as soon as we find one, so a custom DFS traversal is much faster.


This custom loop avoids constructing and yielding the full list of nodes, and stops immediately once a return is found, improving both speed and memory usage especially for large ASTs.
