fix(syntax): avoid quadratic allocation in Node::filter_map#1598

filter_map_internal creates a new vector at every node, returning it and then extending the parent node' vector with it. This means a bunch of unnecessary allocations, and also O(n²) runtime behaviour due to the repeated copies from the child vectors into their parent vectors. Passing the result vector down as an accumulator avoids both issues.
