fix(java): resolve chained static-factory calls Foo.getInstance().bar() (#750) (#751)

A Java method called through a static factory or fluent chain — `Foo.getInstance().bar()`,
`Config.create(opts).build()` — lost the receiver's type, so the chained method either
didn't resolve at all or (when a same-named method existed on an unrelated class) attached
to whichever class was indexed first. Ports the #645 (C++) / #608 (PHP) 3-part mechanism:

- Part 1: capture Java return types in the extractor (skip void/primitives/arrays,
  unwrap generics, strip package qualifier).
- Part 2: encode a chained-call receiver as `inner().method` with normalized empty
  parens, so factory calls that take arguments still split.
- Part 3: matchJavaCallChain resolves the chained method on the factory's return type,
  validated via resolveMethodOnType so a wrong inference yields NO edge (never a wrong one).

Validated: synthetic decoy + absent-method safety tests; real-repo A/B on google/guava
(3,227 files) — node count identical (no explosion), 0 edges lost, +1,507 unique chained
edges recovered, precision spot-checked verbatim (Splitter.on().split(),
CacheBuilder.newBuilder().recordStats(), GraphBuilder.directed().build(), nested
MultimapBuilder.linkedHashKeys().arrayListValues()). EXTRACTION_VERSION 5 -> 6.

### Fixes
- Java method calls made through a static factory or fluent chain now resolve to the correct class. A call like `Foo.getInstance().bar()` or `Config.create(opts).build()` used to lose the receiver's type, so when two classes had a same-named method the call silently attached to whichever was indexed first — or didn't resolve at all — corrupting callers, impact, and trace. CodeGraph now captures Java return types and infers the chained receiver's type from what the inner call returns, creating the edge only when that class genuinely has the method (so a wrong inference produces no edge instead of a misleading one). Covers factories and fluent builders that take arguments (`hashKeys().arrayListValues()`), including builders that return a nested type. Existing Java indexes should be re-indexed (`codegraph index -f`) to benefit. (#750) (Java)
- PHP: a method called through a chained static factory — `Cls::for($x)->method(...)`, the canonical Laravel per-credential / per-tenant client idiom — now records a caller edge. Previously the receiver type (what `for()` returns) was never recovered, so `codegraph_callers` returned nothing for the method and the call was invisible to `codegraph_impact`. CodeGraph now captures PHP return types — `: self` / `: static` resolve to the declaring class, `: SomeClass` to that class — and resolves the chained method on the factory's result, creating the edge only when that class actually has the method (so a wrong inference produces no edge). Existing PHP indexes should be re-indexed (`codegraph index -f`) to benefit. Thanks @cvanderlinden. (#608) (PHP)
- Search relevance: including the project name in a query (a user naturally writes `MyApp backend routes`) no longer buries the part of the codebase the query is actually about. The project name lexically matches whatever stack embeds it — a `MyAppFrontend/` directory, a `MyAppApp` class — and it was over-weighted two ways: a single PascalCase word was scored once per sub-token (`my` / `app` / `myapp`), so one concept boosted that path several times over; and the name carried full path / disambiguation weight even though it names the whole repo, not any symbol. Now path relevance counts each query word once, and a word matching the project name (derived from `go.mod`, `package.json`, or the repo directory) is dropped from path scoring and from `codegraph_explore`'s type-disambiguation bias — unless it's the only term, so a bare project-name search still works. In a mixed-stack repo, a backend question now surfaces the backend even with the project name in the query. Thanks @MiNuo1. (#720)
- Go: a function called only from inside an anonymous closure — a cobra `RunE: func(…) {…}` handler, a goroutine literal, or a callback closure stored in a package-level `var` — now shows its real caller. Previously the call leaked to the file node, so `codegraph_callers` and `codegraph_impact` reported such a function as having no meaningful caller; the call is now attributed to the enclosing declaration, so editing the function surfaces the closures that use it. Existing Go indexes should be re-indexed (`codegraph index -f`) to benefit. Thanks @Cyclone1070. (#693) (Go)
