fix(zig): type locals through try/catch/orelse, return types and payload captures
F6 of the gitnexus-check review. Three gaps in the value flow that types a
local receiver, all measured on Lightpanda:

1. `@type-binding.call-return` needed the `call_expression` as the DIRECT
   value child, so `const p = try Page.init(…)` (2,551 sites), `… catch
   return` (410) and `… orelse return` typed nothing. The rule is now one
   keyword-gated declaration match; `emitZigScopeCaptures` unwraps `try`,
   `catch`, `orelse` and parentheses (`zigUnwrapValue`) and decides what the
   value types (`zigCallReturnTypeOf`): a module-level receiver still names
   the type (`Counter.init()` → Counter, Rust `Foo::new()`); a free call
   binds the callee name (`makeThing`); a member call on a fn-LOCAL receiver
   (parameter / local / payload — Zig forbids shadowing, so "declared in the
   fn" is exact) binds the compound `node.asElement()` the shared resolver
   walks to the method's return type — instead of typing `el` as `Node`. A
   TitleCase callee (`List(u8)`) is a type constructor and binds nothing.

2. No `@type-binding.return` existed. `fn make() !*Thing` now binds
   `make ↦ Thing` in the enclosing scope (Module for free fns, the container's
   Class scope for methods, where the compound resolver reads it). Builtins,
   `type`, `@TypeOf(…)` and comptime type parameters (`?*T`) bind nothing;
   `@This()` / `Self` returns name the container. `normalizeZigTypeName` now
   strips the error union BEFORE the payload's sigils, so
   `Allocator.Error!*Page` → `Page` (it used to leave `*Page`).

3. Payload captures had no binding at all. `populateZigRangeBindings`
   (registered as `populateRangeBindings`) types `for (items) |it| / |*it|`,
   `for (items, 0..) |it, i|`, `if (opt) |v|`, `if (call()) |v|`,
   `while (it.next()) |x|` from the SUBJECT's written type minus one layer
   (`[]T` element, `?T` payload) — declining when the layer is not visible
   (`ArrayList(T)`) — and the same projection for `const t = items[i]` /
   `opt.?` / `ptr.*`. `catch |err|` and `switch` prongs are skipped.

Corpus (Lightpanda, gate before → after): CALLS 15838 → 17853;
`ident.m() bound=local-try/catch/orelse` 11/1298 → 584/1298;
`local-call` 159/1282 → 398/1282; `payload` 82/1085 → 233/1085;
`other-recv:call_expression` 5/991 → 457/991; `local-other` 271 → 364;
`self.m()` 100 %, `free f()` 97.5 %, `ns.f()` 83.4 % unchanged; nothing down.

Not covered: `const t = ns.f()` (a namespace fn's return type across files —
Case 3 has no path from a namespace head to a callable's return binding),
and expression receivers (`items[i].run()`, `o.?.run()`).
