38095aa95b feat(resolution): inherited this.X, Java/Kotlin cross-file method refs, Swift type scoping (#810)
Three callback-registration shapes deferred from #756/#808, one arc:

1. INHERITED this.X (TS/JS + every this.-routed language): a `this.<member>`
   registration whose member isn't on the enclosing class defers to a second
   pass (resolveDeferredThisMemberRefs — in-memory like deferredChainRefs,
   runs after implements/extends edges persist, same lifecycle as the #750
   conformance pass) and resolves up the supertype chain, depth-capped BFS,
   validated targets only. `bus.on("submit", this.handleSubmit)` in a
   subclass links to FormBase::handleSubmit; same-named methods on unrelated
   classes never match. this.-prefixed candidates skip the extraction name
   gate (an inherited member can't be in definedHere).

2. JAVA/KOTLIN qualified method refs: `Handlers::onMessage` /
   `OtherClass::handle` emit QUALIFIED names resolved by the scoped
   suffix-matcher — cross-file capable, gated on the scope name being a
   same-file type or an imported name (dotted JVM imports now contribute
   their last segment). `this::m` and `super::m` route through the
   class-scoped resolver (super rides the supertype pass). References
   through a VARIABLE (`subscriber::onNext`) deliberately produce nothing —
   receiver type is unknowable; RxJava's baseline bare capture was resolving
   these to same-named same-file methods (a test method "registering" an
   anonymous class's onNext) — the rework drops 18 such wrong edges and
   keeps the 7 genuine Type::method refs RxJava's main tree actually has.

3. SWIFT enclosing-type scoping (implicit self): bare callback names match
   methods only of the from-symbol's own type (extension/nested scopes
   reconciled by suffix), and top-level code never matches methods.
   Alamofire: −44 wrong edges (parameters like `request`/`data`/`retrier`
   resolving to same-named methods on unrelated protocols), all verified;
   the same-class param collision (`task`) remains and is documented.

New ResolutionContext.getNodeById lets matchers derive the from-symbol's
class scope. Controls: redis/fmt fnref edges byte-identical; excalidraw
stable; typeorm +4 genuine inherited-getter dependencies; zero calls edges
changed on any of 7 A/B repos; nodes identical everywhere. Kotlin
companion-object members extract unqualified (pre-existing) so
`Type::companionFn` stays silent rather than guessing — documented.

Full suite 1389 passed. EXTRACTION_VERSION 20 → 21 (re-index to benefit).
