feat: Add C++ macro misparse handling and structural node extraction in function bodies

Addresses C++ macros like NLOHMANN_JSON_NAMESPACE_BEGIN that cause tree-sitter to misparse namespace blocks as function_definitions. Adds isMisparsedFunction hook to filter macro artifacts while still visiting their bodies to extract legitimate class/struct/enum definitions hidden inside the misparsed "function" scope.

- [x] **C++** — NOT needed for header-only libs. `isMisparsedFunction` hook filters macro-caused misparse artifacts (e.g. `NLOHMANN_JSON_NAMESPACE_BEGIN`). `visitFunctionBody` now extracts structural nodes (classes/structs/enums) inside macro-confused "function" bodies. Verified against nlohmann/json. Note: out-of-class `Type::method()` definitions would need `getReceiverType` but are uncommon in header-only codebases.
### Needs Verification
Check these — may need `getReceiverType` if methods are top-level in the AST:
- [ ] C++ — out-of-class method definitions `Type::method()`
- [ ] Kotlin — extension functions `fun Type.method()`
Verify these DON'T need `getReceiverType` (methods nested in class body):
