feat: comptime type-call composition (field_type/pointee/field_name in value position)
A comptime-type-call's `Type` result (`field_type(T, i)`, `pointee(P)`) could only
be used in a type-arg slot — not as a `Type`-typed struct-field value, a generic
`$P: Type` argument, or a nested type-call arg — when the index was an `inline for`
loop variable. It routed through value / generic-fn lowering ("cannot infer generic
type parameter" / "unknown #builtin field_type") instead of the type-call fold. This
is what blocked the variable-arity `race` result synthesis: a `($T) -> Type` builder
looping `field_type(pointee(field_type(T, i)), 0)` to mint a tagged-union.
Three coordinated changes route these through the SAME type-call fold (which folds
the index, including a loop var), so type-arg and value positions never disagree:
- `isTypeShapedAstNode` (type_bridge.zig): a `.call` to a type-returning builtin
(`field_type`/`pointee`/`type_of`, via new `isTypeReturningBuiltinName`) is
type-shaped, so generic-arg inference (buildTypeBindings Strategy 1) resolves it
via `resolveTypeArg` rather than failing value inference.
- `tryLowerReflectionCall` (call.zig): value-position `field_type`/`pointee` fold
to `constType(resolveTypeCallWithBindings(c))` — the value twin of the existing
`type_of` fold (every failure path already diagnoses before `.unresolved`).
- `field_name` (call.zig): folds to a const STRING via `memberName` when the type
resolves and the index is a compile-time constant (matching the runtime
`field_name_get` array exactly — same `memberName`, same "" for nameless
members); a dynamic index still emits the `field_name_get` instruction.
Adversarially reviewed (SHIP): no over-broadening (only type-demanding slots consult
isTypeShapedAstNode; only `$T: Type` slots are affected), no silent defaults (every
fold failure is preceded by a diagnostic; "" is the runtime-matching value for a
nameless member). Locked by examples/comptime/0649-comptime-typecall-composition.sx
(reflect a named tuple of `*Box(..)` handles → mint a tagged-union with the tuple's
labels, projecting `*Box(A)` -> `A`). Suite green (821/0). Unblocks PLAN-RACE step 2.
