Merge pull request 'Check Array Paramter' (#38) from #150 into main

This adds tooling to statically extract Tcl variable names from syntax
trees without evaluating substitutions, enabling better completions
for array elements and plain variables. The new helpers are wired
into the completion and navigation flows and are supported by tests
covering array keys and substitutions.

- Introduce variable_names.py with variable_name() and array_key_parts()
- Wire static name extraction into completion and symbol indexing
- Add tests for array key completion with substitutions
