gh-151321: Fix opcode metadata flags for LOAD_DEREF and LOAD_CLOSURE

LOAD_DEREF and LOAD_CLOSURE were missing HAS_FREE_FLAG in the generated
opcode metadata, and both also carried HAS_LOCAL_FLAG, so dis.hasfree no
longer reported them while dis.haslocal wrongly included them. This
regressed the documented dis.hasfree / dis.haslocal contract: LOAD_CLOSURE
broke in 3.13 (when it became a pseudo-op inheriting LOAD_FAST's flags) and
LOAD_DEREF broke in 3.14 (when it started using _PyCell_GetStackRef, which
the cases generator's has_free heuristic did not recognize).

Teach the cases generator to treat _PyCell_GetStackRef as a free-variable
access, and give the LOAD_CLOSURE pseudo an explicit HAS_FREE flag. A pseudo
that explicitly accesses a free variable now suppresses the inherited
HAS_LOCAL, mirroring the existing "uses_locals and not has_free" rule for
real instructions, so HAS_FREE and HAS_LOCAL are never both set. The change
is to introspection metadata only; the generated interpreter and optimizer
code are unchanged.
