subject local variable attributes need improvements
code
{
  val x = 10;
}
{ 
  val x = 20;
}
what happened
Right now, the compiler will assume each local variable has a lifetime that scopes the entire method that they a\
re created in. This is very confusing, especially when local variables share name.
what expected Local variable scope should be accurately represented in their debug attributes. Not sure what to do about shadowing though....

Cleaned up local variables, synthetic flags are emitted and synthetic locals are not generated in the debug table. Variable's scope is still not handled.

Fixed. Much trickier than I thought, but it finally seems to work. Let me know if there are cases that don't work as expected.
