fixes#25725
This pull request makes significant improvements to symbol handling
during transformation passes in the compiler, particularly for routines
(procedures, iterators) and their parameters. The changes ensure that
when routines are copied (for inlining, closure generation, etc.), all
relevant symbols and type headers are also freshly copied and correctly
owned, preventing subtle bugs from symbol reuse. Additionally, new
regression tests are added to cover previously problematic iterator
cases.
**Improvements to symbol copying and ownership:**
* Introduced `freshOwnedSym` to create a fresh copy of a symbol with a
specified owner, ensuring that transformed routines and their parameters
do not share symbols with the originals, which prevents accidental
aliasing and ownership issues.
* Refactored `freshVar` to use `freshOwnedSym`, centralizing fresh
symbol creation logic.
* Added `introduceNewRoutineHeaderSyms` and `copyRoutineTypeHeader` to
ensure that when routines are copied, all parameter/result symbols and
their types are also freshly copied and mapped, avoiding shared state
between original and transformed routines.
* Updated `introduceNewLocalVars` to use `freshOwnedSym` for routine
symbols and to invoke the new header/type copying procedures, ensuring
correctness in routine transformation.
**Testing and regression coverage:**
* Added new blocks to `tests/iter/titer_issues.nim` to test iterator
transformation edge cases, including scenarios that previously led to
symbol reuse bugs (e.g., bugs #25724 and #25725).
fixes#25724
This pull request introduces a small but important fix in the compiler
and adds a new test case related to iterators. The main change in the
compiler ensures that lambda-like constructs are handled consistently
with other procedure definitions, while the new test in the suite covers
a previously untested scenario.
**Compiler improvements:**
* Updated `introduceNewLocalVars` in `compiler/transf.nim` to handle all
`nkLambdaKinds` in addition to `nkProcDef`, `nkFuncDef`, `nkMethodDef`,
and `nkConverterDef`, ensuring consistent transformation of all
lambda-like constructs.
**Testing:**
* Added a block to `tests/iter/titer_issues.nim` to test iterator
behavior in both compile-time and run-time contexts, addressing bug
#25724.

It inserts defect handing into a bare except branch
```nim
try:
raiseAssert "test"
except:
echo "nope"
```
=>
```nim
try:
raiseAssert "test"
except:
# New behaviov, now well-defined: **never** catches the assert, regardless of panic mode
raiseDefect()
echo "nope"
```
In this way, `except` still catches foreign exceptions, but panics on
`Defect`. Probably when Nim has `except {.foreign.}`, we can extend
`raiseDefect` to foreign exceptions as well. That's supposed to be a
small use case anyway.
`--legacy:noPanicOnExcept` is provided for a transition period.
