fix(language-service): infer type of elements of array-like objects (#36312)

Currently the language service only provides support for determining the
type of array-like members when the array-like object is an `Array`.
However, there are other kinds of array-like objects, including
`ReadonlyArray`s and `readonly`-property arrays. This commit adds
support for retrieving the element type of arbitrary array-like objects.

Closes #36191
