Subject: [PATCH] [clang][bytecode] Fix stack corruption in pointer arithmetic
 discard

In VisitPointerArithBinOp, the result of pointer addition or subtraction
was always left on the stack, even if the result was intended to be
discarded (e.g. in a comma expression). This led to stack corruption
where subsequent operations would find an unexpected pointer on the
stack, causing an assertion failure in the InterpStack.

This patch ensures that we correctly respect the DiscardResult flag
for pointer arithmetic operations.

Fixes #176549
