fix(transpiler): don't inline const values into function bodies

Bun's const-inlining optimization was replacing variable references
with literal values inside function bodies, changing the observable
result of Function.prototype.toString(). This broke patterns that
rely on toString() + eval() (serialization for workers, RPC, etc.).

Only applies to the runtime transpiler (non-bundler mode) to preserve
toString() fidelity. The bundler path is unchanged since users
explicitly opt into minification there.

Closes #12710
