I changed the parsing of const dot shorthands to parse the entire selector chain in `parsePrecedenceExpression` rather than parsing them in `parseConstExpression`. We were originally parsing the initial expression before the `.` and only flagging that as a dot shorthand which prevented any chaining on const constructors. Const expressions with chained methods/property accesses were not being flagged as a dot shorthand so we weren’t saving the context type properly which led to producing the “unknown context type” error.
Before:
```
class C {
const new someConstCtor();
C method() => this;
}
C c = const .someConstCtor.method();
// (const .someConstCtor) is parsed and handled as a const constructor
// (const .someConstCtor) is handled as a dot shorthand, context is
// saved on only this AST and not the outer chain.
// Then we parse the rest of the selector chain (.method())
//
// Error: No context type for (const .someConstCtor.method())
```
After:
```
class C {
const new someConstCtor();
C method() => this;
}
C c = const .someConstCtor.method();
// (const .someConstCtor) is parsed and handled as a const constructor.
// Then we parse the rest of the selector chain (.method())
// (const .someConstCtor.method()) is handled as a dot shorthand, context is saved for this outer node.
//
// OK. No error because we are able to retrieve the type for the
// entire dot shorthand chain.
```
