Update NRVO logic to support early return
Summary: The previous implementation misses an opportunity to apply NRVO (Named Return Value Optimization) below. That discourages user to write early return code. ``` struct Foo {}; Foo f(bool b) { if (b) return Foo(); Foo oo; return oo; } ``` That is, we can/should apply RVO for a local variable if: * It's directly returned by at least one return statement. * And, all reachable return statements in its scope returns the variable directly. While, the previous implementation disables the RVO in a scope if there are multiple return statements that refers different variables. On the new algorithm, local variables are in NRVO_Candidate state at first, and a return statement changes it to NRVO_Disabled for all visible variables but the return statement refers. Then, at the end of the function AST traversal, NRVO is enabled for variables in NRVO_Candidate state and refers from at least one return statement.
