Research direction

The issue names ConstArgKind::Path and constarg-to-valtree lowering, but no files or tests. Start by locating those entry points and tracing how lowering is restricted to CTFE. Done means static paths of this kind are supported outside CTFE, with relevant compiler tests added or updated.
