This implements a new method of lastindex to specify a given dimension, and then uses that new method in the lowering of end within multi-dimensional indices. Previously, this would have lowered directly to last(axes(A, d)) for end in position d. Given that axes (and multidimensional indexing generally) are array-centric concepts, I have only implemented this for ::AbstractArray, with a deprecation for all other types suggesting implemention if sensible. I have similarly defined firstindex(A, d) (albeit without the deprecation). It will be available for its syntax transformation in the future.

This implements a new method of `lastindex` to specify a given dimension, and then uses that new method in the lowering of `end` within multi-dimensional indices.

This attempts to address some of the performance regressions observed
with the Stateful iterator #25763. It gets most of the way there,
but unfortunately still ends up allocating the `Stateful` iterator
object rather than propagating through the fields. Getting the rest
of the way there will require some compiler tweaks.

It would be nice to document the new methods. Also n would probably better be spelled d (as in NEWS.md), and typed as ::Integer?

Just a heads up this is missing a deprecation for the rename of endof

This does implement a deprecation. Are you referring to a deprecation of endof? That is also deprecated at call sites (#23354). Now, extending endof isn't deprecated, but that's a trade-off for better line information with the options we have.

I see, that makes sense as to why I was not getting the deprecation. Thank you.
