Use a temporary variable to build fieldinfo into
Rather than each write dereferencing the `PadnameFIELDINFO()` macro,
it's nicer to build up the fieldinfo struct into a temporary variable,
and then assign it into the PADNAME once at the end.

Log Message:
-----------
Bugfix for PadnameFIELDINFO on thread cloning (GH#24150)
Fixes #24150
We were fetching the wrong pointer during thread cloning, leading to
weird subtle bugs in the cloned thread. As the field info structure is
mostly only used during compile-time, it wasn't obvious from the
existing tests that it was wrong. The newly-added test uses the same
field multiple times across methods, so results in the cloned copy in
the thread having to bump the reference count. Without this bugfix it
resulted in a structure being accessed via the wrong pointer type and
caused memory corruption of the incorrectly accessed structure.
