Store expression hierarchy in semantic model snapshots (#6345)
## Summary

When we iterate over the AST for analysis, we often process nodes in a
"deferred" manner. For example, if we're analyzing a function, we push
the function body onto a deferred stack, along with a snapshot of the
current semantic model state. Later, when we analyze the body, we
restore the semantic model state from the snapshot. This ensures that we
know the correct scope, hierarchy of statement parents, etc., when we go
to analyze the function body.

Historically, we _haven't_ included the _expression_ hierarchy in the
model snapshot -- so we track the current expression parents in the
visitor, but we never save and restore them when processing deferred
nodes. This can lead to subtle bugs, in that methods like
`expr_parent()` aren't guaranteed to be correct, if you're in a deferred
visitor.

This PR migrates expression tracking to mirror statement tracking
exactly. So we push all expressions onto an `IndexVec`, and include the
current expression on the snapshot. This ensures that `expr_parent()`
and related methods are "always correct" rather than "sometimes
correct".

There's a performance cost here, both at runtime and in terms of memory
consumption (we now store an additional pointer for every expression).
In my hyperfine testing, it's about a 1% performance decrease for
all-rules on CPython (up to 533.8ms, from 528.3ms) and a 4% performance
decrease for default-rules on CPython (up to 212ms, from 204ms).
However... I think this is worth it given the incorrectness of our
current approach. In the future, we may want to reconsider how we do
these upward traversals (e.g., with something like a red-green tree).
(**Note**: in https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/6351, the slowdown
seems to be entirely removed.)
