analyzer: missing type propagation of method calls on top-level final fields

[jmesserly]

I have code like:

void main(List arguments) {
  var args = _argParser.parse(arguments);
  // ... more code ...
}

final _argParser = new ArgParser()
    // <snip>
    ..addFlag('help', help: 'prints this message');

When hovering over the bottom _argParser, it displays the propagated type as "ArgParser". However, when hovering over the use in main, it doesn't show an inferred type, and the ".parse" doesn't let me "go to declaration" or show a method tooltip. It also means that "var args" doesn't get a propagated type either.
