Lift all non trivial prefixes for default parameters (#19739)

Checking if the prefix is pure is not enough to know if we need to list
the prefix. In the case of default parameters, the prefix tree might be
used several times to compute the default values. This expression should
only be computed once and therefore it should be lifted if there is some
computation/allocation involved. Furthermore, if the prefix contains a
local definition, it must be lifted to avoid duplicating the definition.

A similar situation could happen with dependent default parameters. This
currently works as expected.

Fixes #15315
