Cache argument values per field node during execution

Add _arg_cache dictionary to ExecutionContext to cache parsed
argument values by field node id. Since arguments are derived
from the static AST and constant variable_values, they can be
safely cached for the duration of execution.

This removes get_argument_values from the hot path - previously
taking 0.113s for 120K calls, now cached after first call per
field node.

Performance: ~5% faster execution on nested queries.
