Description
## Summary
The results of the IS_CONTIGUOUS intrinsic for array sections with constant shapes are not being treated as compile-time constants. This derives from #115675, which has already been fixed. It appears that some cases are missed.
### Reproducer
* test.f90
```fortran
character(5) :: array(3,2,4)
logical,parameter::a03=is_contiguous(array(:,:,:)(1:4)) ! from #115675
logical,parameter::a07=is_contiguous(array(2:,:,:))
logical,parameter::a08=is_contiguous(array(2:,:,:)(:))
logical,parameter::a12=is_contiguous(array(:2,:,:))
logical,parameter::a13=is_contiguous(array(:2,:,:)(:))
logical,parameter::a17=is_contiguous(array(2:3,:,:))
logical,parameter::a18=is_contiguous(array(2:3,:,:)(:))
logical,parameter::a20=is_contiguous(array(2:3,:,:)(:5))
if (a03) print *,2003
if (a07) print *,2007
if (a08) print *,2008
if (a12) print *,2012
if (a13) print *,2013
if (a17) print *,2017
if (a18) print *,2018
if (a20) print *,2020
print *,'pass'
end
```

## Non-problematic Conditions
The issue does not occur under the following conditions:
* Replacing IS_CONTIGUOUS with other intrinsics (e.g., SIZE):
```fortran
character(5) :: array(3,2,4)
integer,parameter::a03=size(array(:,:,:)(1:4))
integer,parameter::a07=size(array(2:,:,:))
integer,parameter::a08=size(array(2:,:,:)(:))
integer,parameter::a12=size(array(:2,:,:))
integer,parameter::a13=size(array(:2,:,:)(:))
integer,parameter::a17=size(array(2:3,:,:))
integer,parameter::a18=size(array(2:3,:,:)(:))
integer,parameter::a20=size(array(2:3,:,:)(:5))
if (a03 /= 24) print *,2003
if (a07 /= 16) print *,2007
if (a08 /= 16) print *,2008
if (a12 /= 16) print *,2012
if (a13 /= 16) print *,2013
if (a17 /= 16) print *,2017
if (a18 /= 16) print *,2018
if (a20 /= 16) print *,2020
print *,'pass'
end
```
