fix(scala): resolve chained static-factory/apply calls Foo.create().bar() (#750) (#761)

Ports the #645 (C++) / #608 (PHP) chained-receiver mechanism to Scala. A call
whose receiver is itself a call — `Foo.create().bar()` (companion factory),
`Builder(cfg).bar()` (case-class apply), or a fluent chain — used to drop the
receiver to a bare `bar`, which name-matched a same-named method on an unrelated
type. The most common wrong edge was a stdlib `Option`/`Iterator` `.map`/`.flatMap`/
`.foreach` mis-attributed onto the project's own same-named class.

- scala.ts: `getReturnType` reads the `return_type` field — generic `List[Foo]`
  → container `List`, qualified `pkg.Foo` → `Foo`, `this.type` left undefined.
- tree-sitter.ts: re-encode `Foo.create().bar` when the inner call's receiver chain
  starts with a capital (companion factory / case-class apply); instance chains
  (`list.map().filter()`) stay bare.
- name-matcher.ts: `scala` joins the dotted-chain gate + CONSTRUCTS_VIA_BARE_CALL
  (case-class `apply` constructs the class); resolveMethodOnType validates, so a
  non-conventional `apply` returning another type yields no edge, not a wrong one.
- index.ts: `scala` joins CHAIN_LANGUAGES so trait-inherited methods resolve via
  the conformance second pass.

Validation: 4 synthetic tests (factory+decoy, case-class apply, trait conformance,
absent-method safety). Real-repo A/B on gatling (750 Scala files): +14 / -59 unique
edges — all corrections. The +14 are retargets (e.g. `HttpProtocolBuilder(cfg).baseUrl`
now resolves to HttpProtocolBuilder::baseUrl, not the same-named private BaseUrlSupport
helper); the -59 are wrong edges removed (stdlib Option/Iterator monad calls
mis-tied to the project's Validation::*, self-loops, decoy collisions) — zero genuine
factory chains dropped (verified: gatling has no real Validation.success().map() chains).

### Fixes
- Go method calls made through a chained factory function now resolve to the correct type. A call like `New().Method()` used to drop the receiver, so the chained method attached to a same-named method on an unrelated type — or didn't resolve. CodeGraph now captures Go return types (a pointer `*Foo` resolves to `Foo`, and a multi-return `(*Foo, error)` to its first result), infers the chained receiver's type from what the factory function returns, and resolves the method on it — including methods promoted from an embedded struct — creating the edge only when the type or an embedded type genuinely has the method. Existing Go indexes should be re-indexed (`codegraph index -f`) to benefit. (#750) (Go)
- Scala method calls made through a companion-object factory, a fluent chain, or a case-class `apply` now resolve to the correct type. A call like `Foo.create().bar()` or `Builder(cfg).bar()` used to drop the receiver, so the chained method silently attached to a same-named method on an unrelated type — most often mis-attributing a standard-library `Option` / `Iterator` `.map` / `.flatMap` / `.foreach` onto your own same-named class. CodeGraph now captures Scala return types (a generic `List[Foo]` resolves to its container `List`, a qualified `pkg.Foo` to `Foo`), infers the chained receiver's type from what the inner call returns or constructs, and resolves the method on it — including methods inherited from a trait the type extends — creating the edge only when that type or one of its traits genuinely has the method (so a wrong inference produces no edge instead of a misleading one). Existing Scala indexes should be re-indexed (`codegraph index -f`) to benefit. (#750) (Scala)
- Rust method calls made through a chained associated function now resolve to the correct type. A call like `Foo::new().bar()` or `Foo::with(cfg).build()` used to drop the receiver, so the chained method silently attached to a same-named method on an unrelated type — or didn't resolve. CodeGraph now captures Rust return types (`-> Self` resolves to the implementing type), infers the chained receiver's type from what the associated function returns, and resolves the method on it — including methods provided by a trait the type implements (via the new `impl Trait for Type` relationships) — creating the edge only when the type or one of its traits genuinely has the method. Existing Rust indexes should be re-indexed (`codegraph index -f`) to benefit. (#750) (Rust)
- Chained method calls now resolve when the chained method is **inherited from a superclass or declared on an interface/protocol** the receiver's type conforms to — for example a call on a sealed-subclass instance (`Either.Right(x).combine(...)`) that invokes a method defined on its parent type. Previously these chains found no caller edge even though the factory's type was known, so the call was invisible to callers, impact, and trace. CodeGraph now walks the type's supertypes (its `extends` / `implements` relationships) to find the method, creating the edge only when a supertype genuinely declares it (so a wrong inference still produces no edge). This makes Java, Kotlin, and C# factory and fluent chains more complete. Existing indexes should be re-indexed (`codegraph index -f`) to benefit. (#750)
- Swift method calls made through a static factory, fluent chain, or constructor now resolve to the correct class. A call like `Foo.make().draw()` or `Foo().draw()` used to drop the receiver, so the chained method silently attached to a same-named method on an unrelated class — or didn't resolve at all. CodeGraph now captures Swift return types and infers the chained receiver's type from what the inner call returns (or the constructed type), creating the edge only when that class genuinely has the method (so a wrong inference produces no edge instead of a misleading one). Existing Swift indexes should be re-indexed (`codegraph index -f`) to benefit. (#750) (Swift)
