Obfuscate variable names generated by the compiler#1601

This blocks the user from creating a collision with a compiler-generated variable at the parser level.

Should we rename anon to be something more descriptive? For example, maybe we could have check_varname=True instead. It would also be nice to add a note about why that option exists and why it's useful.

I'm also seeing a couple of other places (like here) where internal variables are being created without the new_placeholder method. So it might actually make more sense to have a new method, new_internal_variable, which does the variable name mangling and ensures that the provided name won't collide with the namespace in the vyper source file. Then new_placeholder could just make a call to that without manually mangling its variable name.

Good catch and suggestion. I'm thinking of just putting the mangling option into new_variable instead of a whole new function.
find all places where internal variables get created and set the flag to mangle.
