[stable] Fix diagnostic argument mismatch in constant evaluation.

Issue description: users experience crashes in the analyzer, analysis
server, or dart fix when the `prefer_const_constructors` lint is
enabled.

What is the fix: constant evaluation is fixed so that it properly
propagates diagnostic arguments; failure to do so would cause a crash
when the `prefer_const_constructors` lint tried to speculatively
constant-evaluate an expression to see if it could be made constant.

Why cherry-pick:

- Biggest cause of crashes reported by analyzer instrumentation
  (https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/61761).

- Reported by customers very soon after stable release
  (https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/61953).

Risk: fairly low, because:

- The fix is quite straightforward: the only lines of code affected
  are those that clearly failed to properly propagate diagnostic
  arguments, and the change is quite transparent.

- Since landing the fix, a further refactor was landed that re-worked
  constant evaluation to use the analyzer's new literate API for error
  reporting, which guarantees statically that diagnostic codes and
  their arguments are properly matched. This refactor was
  straightforward and didn't require any further changes to program
  logic, suggesting that the fix was indeed correct.

- Note, however, that the fix was only landed a week ago, so there is
  some increased risk compared to cherry-picking a change that has had
  more time to "bake".

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).
