Compute information about EEOP_*_FETCHSOME at expression init time.

Previously this information was computed when JIT compiling an
expression.  But the information is useful for assertions in the
non-JIT case too (for assertions), therefore it makes sense to move
it.

This will, in a followup commit, allow to treat different slot types
differently. E.g. for virtual slots there's no need to generate a JIT
function to deform the slot.
