feat(resolution): conformance-aware chained-method resolution (#750) (#754)

* feat(resolution): conformance-aware chained-method resolution (#750)

A chained static-factory/fluent call whose method lives on a SUPERTYPE the
receiver conforms to — a protocol-extension method (Swift), an interface default
method, or an inherited superclass method — now resolves. resolveMethodOnType
falls back to walking the return type's implements/extends edges (via the new
context.getSupertypes) when the method isn't a direct member. Because those edges
don't exist during the single-pass resolution, a second pass
(resolveChainedCallsViaConformance) re-resolves the deferred chained refs after
edges are built. Still validated, so a wrong inference yields no edge.
