Fix memory leak: remove static from local variables in Recompile()

Three local variables in recompiler.cpp were declared as 'static', causing
unbounded memory growth during recompilation of large executables:

- Line 2291: std::unordered_set<size_t> labels
- Line 2397: std::string tempString
- Line 2645: std::vector<uint8_t> temp

Problem:
Static local variables persist across function calls and their containers
(string, vector, unordered_set) only grow - they never shrink. When
recompiling large games with 50,000+ functions:

1. 'tempString' accumulates ALL generated C++ code across every function
2. 'labels' accumulates all label addresses from every function
3. 'temp' accumulates file comparison buffers

This was discovered while recompiling GTA IV (~18MB code, ~50k functions).
The process consumed 300GB+ RAM and crashed the server after 4 hours.

Why it wasn't caught earlier:
- Sonic Unleashed (the original target) is smaller
- Most test machines have enough RAM to complete before OOM
- The static keyword was likely intended as a micro-optimization to avoid
  repeated allocations, but std::string/vector capacity only increases

Fix:
Remove 'static' keyword so variables are properly deallocated after each
function is processed. Memory usage now stays under 2GB for GTA IV.

Tested: Successfully recompiled GTA IV without memory issues.
