fix(cfml): createObject("component", path) links its component, and .init() on it (#2841)

`new a.b.Batch()` made an instantiates edge, but
`createObject("component", "a.b.Batch")`, the form older CFML uses most,
was extracted as a call to the engine function createObject, which never
resolves. A call chained onto either construction, `createObject(...).init()`
or `new a.b.Batch().init()`, was extracted as a bare `init`, which the
name matcher bound to whichever component's init came first (0.4), or to
none when there are many.

Fix:
- cfscript extraction (tag expressions included): a component
  createObject, with two arguments, one, or named ones, makes an
  instantiates reference under the dotted path as written, not a call.
  Java and other object types, and names built at runtime, are unchanged.
- A call on a construction is extracted as `<component>().<method>`.
- The resolver reads a dotted instantiates path with
  resolveCfmlComponentPath, the rules extends uses, and resolves a chained
  call to the method of that component or one it inherits (matched
  ignoring case; inheritance is wired before calls). A bare component name
  is the one in the calling file's folder, else the only one so named.
  Without both, the call gets no edge rather than a guess by name.
- resolveCfmlComponentPath also accepts a component at the project root
  for a path with one folder segment, its file named like it:
  `wheels.JobWorker` in Wheels' own source, where `wheels` maps onto the
  root. Without it Wheels' core lost calls like
  `new wheels.JobWorker().processNext()` that name matching had found. It
  ranks below any folder match; extends gains the same.

Validation:
- New cfml-create-object.test.ts (5 cases) and a root-component case in
  cfml-inheritance-resolution.test.ts: 5 of the 6 fail on main (the sixth
  pins the variable typing that already worked), all pass.
- A/B vs main d90f6abe on FW/1, BlogCFC, ColdBox, ContentBox, Preside,
  CFWheels and its vendor/wheels core indexed as its own project:
  1,022 edges removed: 563 resolved again to the same target by type,
  444 moved from a method guessed by name to the constructed component's
  own or inherited method, and 15 dropped, all name guesses for
  components outside the index, without the method, or tied. 1,342 added:
  641 instantiates, 38 calls, and in Wheels' core 653 extends and 10
  implements to root components. Oracles over the fix graphs: of the 983
  chained-construction call edges, 965 land in the file named like the
  component and 18 on a method its supertypes declare (each checked); all
  608 dotted instantiates and, in Wheels' core, all 786 dotted
  extends/implements edges target a file named like the path's last
  segment. One site is doubtful: Wheels' core public/docs/core.cfm names
  the application's app.models.Model, which that subtree lacks; one
  `models` folder corroborates a test asset's Model.cfc, as it would for
  extends. express and flask controls byte-identical.
- Index time, median of 4 interleaved runs, CPU with workers, main vs
  fix: Preside 58.7 / 54.5 s, Wheels core 32.2 / 33.0 s. Within noise.

Fixes #2652

 - In VB.NET, a field or property initializer like `= Compute()` or `As New List(Of Order)` now links what it calls and creates, and so do a `Custom Event`'s `AddHandler`, `RemoveHandler` and `RaiseEvent` blocks. Re-index VB.NET and C# projects after upgrading.
 - In C#, a field or property initializer like `private readonly ILogger _log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(X));` or `public List<Foo> Items { get; } = new();` now links what it calls, creates and reads, including inside a lambda, and a target-typed `new()` there counts as creating the declared type. Before, initializers were skipped, so a method or class used only from one — like a converter created in a static list — looked unused, and a method passed as a value there was credited to the whole class instead of the field or property.
 - In C# and VB.NET, a constant no longer stands in for a type with the same name: `new Station { … }` links to class `Station` even when another class declares `private const string Station`, `new Version(…)` no longer links to a `const string Version`, and a field like `static readonly Meter Meter` no longer points at itself. Thanks @EvanYu1980 for the report and @drakeo338. (#2337)
+- In CFML, `createObject("component", "contenscms.core.queue.batchcontext")`, and the one-argument `createObject("contenscms.core.queue.batchcontext")`, now link to the component they create, found by its path the way `extends` finds one, as `new` already did. A call chained onto the new object, like `createObject(…).init()` or `new contenscms.core.queue.batchcontext().init()`, now links to that component's `init`, or to the one it inherits. In a framework's own source, a path like `wheels.JobWorker`, whose first part is the framework itself, now also finds the component at the project root, for `extends` as well. Before, `createObject` showed up as a call to a function that doesn't exist, and the chained `init` was linked to whichever component's `init` came first, or to none. Thanks @HarryMuc for the report. (#2652)
 - In VB.NET, a call on a variable, parameter, field or property now reaches a method of the type it is declared with — one that type inherits, or an extension method written for it — and nothing when that type comes from outside your project, instead of any project method that merely shares the name.
 - In VB.NET, a call to one of .NET's own methods such as `Add`, `Contains`, `Clear` or `Dispose` on a value whose type isn't known is no longer linked to a project method of that name, unless the value is named after that method's class.
 - In VB.NET, a type name is looked up the way VB.NET does it — through the namespaces around it, the file's and project's `Imports` (aliases included), and the caller's own project — so a class declared in several namespaces or projects no longer draws every call to whichever copy was indexed first, and two candidates nothing tells apart get no link at all.
