Use dimFetch flag instead of checking assigned expression type for $this reassignment

$this = $value should still be reported even when $value implements ArrayAccess.
The fix now tracks whether the VariableAssignNode originated from a dimension-fetch
assignment ($this[$key] = $value) vs a direct assignment ($this = $value).
