Fix #1265: Allow continuous assignment of single-element unpacked arrays

The original check used `pin_count() > 1` to detect whole-array
assignments, which missed single-element arrays like `[0:0]` where
pin_count is 1.

The fix checks for whole-array assignments by:
1. Multi-element arrays (pin_count > 1) - always whole-array
2. Single-element unpacked arrays - check if the lval expression
   has array indices. If no indices, it's a whole-array reference.

This correctly distinguishes between:
- `assign arr = expr` (whole array) -> elaborate_unpacked_array_
- `assign arr[i] = expr` (indexed element) -> normal path
