Enhance compound literal support

This commit improves compound literal support by implementing C99-style
compound literals with both standard and non-standard extensions.
- Array compound literals: (int[]){10, 20, 30}
- Scalar compound literals: (int){42}
- Character compound literals: (char){'A'}
- Mixed expressions: (int){10} + (int[]){20}
- Function argument support: func((int){5}, (int[]){10})
- Non-standard scalar assignment: int x = (int[]){100} assigns 100
