[stable][analyzer] Dot shorthands: Error when using type arguments on a factory constructor in an abstract class.

Fixing a small bug where we wouldn't check the other error cases if we
had an abstract class as the context type.

Added a few language tests and a unit test for this case.

Issue description: When attempting to use type arguments on a dot
shorthand constructor which is invoking a factory constructor in an
abstract class, the analyzer isn't reporting an error.

What is the fix: Change the code flow so that we are checking for type
arguments when resolving to a factory constructor in an abstract class.

Why cherry-pick: Users won't have a static error for this and will need
to compile in order to find that their code is incorrect.

Risk: Low, this fix has landed on the main channel and is tested with language tests and unit tests. Extra tests covering the changes with https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/463466 and https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/464764

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).
