agra 95adc52609 fix(ir): const evaluators' field-access arm is raw value-shadow aware [F0.11]
A backtick raw value-shadow receiver (`` `f64 := … `` then `` `f64.epsilon ``,
`` `s8.max ``) was misclassified as the builtin numeric-limit accessor by the
shared compile-time evaluators. The sibling `isFloatValuedExpr` already guards
this with an `is_raw` check, but `evalConstFloatExpr` / `evalConstIntExpr` did
not — so once a raw value-shadow's field read flowed into the unified float→int
narrowing rule or an array-dim count, the float folder returned the BUILTIN
`f64.epsilon` (2.22e-16) and wrongly errored, and the integer folder turned
`` `s8.max `` into the builtin `127` (a fabricated 127-element array).

Both evaluators' field-access arms now mirror `isFloatValuedExpr`'s `is_raw`
guard: a raw receiver yields `obj_name = null`, so it is never a
numeric-limit/pack leaf and falls through to the ordinary runtime field read. A
raw value-shadow is a mutable-local field (an observable later reassignment),
so it is genuinely runtime and must not be const-folded — it now behaves exactly
like a plainly-named field read: `` `f64.epsilon `` narrowing into `s64`
truncates its field value (11.5 → 11, identical to `b.epsilon`), and `` `s8.max ``
as an array dimension is rejected as a non-constant count (identical to `b.max`).
The bare builtin path is unchanged.

Regression (issue 0095 / F0.11-7):
- examples/0169-types-value-shadow-field-narrowing.sx (positive — raw float-field
  read narrows/truncates, mutation proves runtime, bare limit still folds)
- examples/1148-diagnostics-value-shadow-field-dim-not-const.sx (negative — raw
  int-field dim rejected as non-const)
- program_index.test.zig "a backtick raw-shadow receiver is a field read, not a
  numeric-limit fold (F0.11-7)"

specs.md + readme.md note the value-shadow rule extends into the narrowing/count
contexts.

// A raw value binding whose spelling shadows a builtin INTEGER type name
// (`` `s8 ``) used as an array DIMENSION through one of its fields. Field
// access on a raw value is an ORDINARY runtime field read, so `` `s8.max `` is
// a runtime value — NOT the builtin `s8.max` (= 127) and NOT a compile-time
// constant. An array dimension demands a compile-time integer constant, so the
// dimension is rejected with the same diagnostic a plainly-named runtime field
// read (`b.max`) earns — the backtick spelling changes nothing.
//
// Sibling (integer) half of the F0.11-7 fix: the compile-time INTEGER evaluator
// (`evalConstIntExpr`) misclassified a raw value-shadow receiver as the builtin
// `<IntType>.min`/`.max` accessor, silently folding 127 and fabricating a
// 127-element array. The `is_raw` guard now defers it to an ordinary field
// read, so it surfaces as a non-constant dimension instead of a silent wrong
// length.
//
// Negative companion to 0169 (the FLOAT-field narrowing half, exit 0).
//
// Regression (issue 0095 / F0.11-7).
