Fix AST visitor traversal order (#5221)
## Summary

According to the AST visitor documentation, the AST visitor "visits all
nodes in the AST recursively in evaluation-order". However, the current
traversal fails to meet this specification in a few places.

### Function traversal

```python
order = []
@(order.append("decorator") or (lambda x: x))
def f(
    posonly: order.append("posonly annotation") = order.append("posonly default"),
    /,
    arg: order.append("arg annotation") = order.append("arg default"),
    *args: order.append("vararg annotation"),
    kwarg: order.append("kwarg annotation") = order.append("kwarg default"),
    **kwargs: order.append("kwarg annotation")
) -> order.append("return annotation"):
    pass
print(order)
```

Executing the above snippet using CPython 3.10.6 prints the following
result (formatted for readability):
```python
[
    'decorator',
    'posonly default',
    'arg default',
    'kwarg default',
    'arg annotation',
    'posonly annotation',
    'vararg annotation',
    'kwarg annotation',
    'kwarg annotation',
    'return annotation',
]
```

Here we can see that decorators are evaluated first, followed by
argument defaults, and annotations are last. The current traversal of a
function's AST does not align with this order.

### Annotated assignment traversal
```python
order = []
x: order.append("annotation") = order.append("expression")
print(order)
```

Executing the above snippet using CPython 3.10.6 prints the following
result:
```python
['expression', 'annotation']
```

Here we can see that an annotated assignments annotation gets evaluated
after the assignment's expression. The current traversal of an annotated
assignment's AST does not align with this order.

## Why?

I'm slowly working on #3946 and porting over some of the logic and tests
from ssort. ssort is very sensitive to AST traversal order, so ensuring
the utmost correctness here is important.

## Test Plan

There doesn't seem to be existing tests for the AST visitor, so I didn't
bother adding tests for these very subtle changes. However, this
behavior will be captured in the tests for the PR which addresses #3946.
