[messages] Fix non_const_argument_for_const_parameter on RHS of a compound assignment.

Previously, if a compound assignment made use of a user-defined
operator whose argument was annotated `@mustBeConst`, the analyzer
would attempt to issue a `non_const_argument_for_const_parameter`
warning, regardless of whether the argument was indeed const. The
justification, from comments in the analyzer code, was that "the
argument cannot be const, as it depends on the value of the left hand
side", but this is not the case: in a compound assignment, the
argument to the user-defined operator is the right hand side, so it
does _not_ depend on the value of the left hand side.

To make matters worse, the code for issuing the warning tried to use
the AST node of the right hand side as the message parameter, whereas
the message required a string (the _name_ of the parameter), leading
to a crash. The reason this was not detected previously was that the
code path in question wasn't covered by tests.

I've fixed the logic so that the warning only fires if the right hand
side is not const. The fix involves calling the `_check` method (which
passes the appropriate value for the message parameter), so this also
fixes the crash. I've fixed the etst coverage problem by adding the
appropriate unit tests.

Fixes https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/62446.

Dart

An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.

  • Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
