Fix #1242: NullReferenceException in WinformsConversions.CreatePropertyAssignment

When InitializeComponent contains a bare identifier assignment (e.g. `Button1 = New Button()`
without the `Me.` prefix), s.Left is a VBSyntax.IdentifierNameSyntax. Calling
LastOrDefaultDescendant<IdentifierNameSyntax>() on it returns null because DescendantNodes()
does not include the node itself, causing a NullReferenceException in CreatePropertyAssignment.

Fix: detect when s.Left is itself an IdentifierNameSyntax and use it directly; also add a
null guard so other unexpected shapes fall through gracefully.

Regression test added based on the Issue774 test but with a bare identifier (no Me.) in
InitializeComponent's WithEvents field assignment.
