[BUGFIX beta] Allow passing a string literal to {{helper}} and {{modifier}} #19487

As per RFC #432

However, dynamic string values are currently disallowed per earlier framework team weekly meeting discussion to not make it harder for Embroider to heuristically analyze the dynamic usages.

Eventually we will want to do the same for components as well, and this AST transform would work there too.

@pzuraq I don't think this has to block merging but it seems odd that we lost the const reference propagation here:

{{helper (-disallow-dynamic-resolution this.helperName type="helper" loc=" (some-file.hbs:1:2) " original="this.helperName") "helper args"}}
                                                            ~~~~~~~~     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It seemed strange that isConstRef returned false on this. The logic in isConstRef checks for ref.tag === CONST_TAG but ref.tag is null here. Seems like a bug?

import { internalHelper } from './internal-helper';

export default internalHelper(({ positional }: CapturedArguments, owner: Owner | undefined) => {
// why is this allowed to be undefined in the first place?

@pzuraq This seemed strange. I suspect this is leftover from when you thought you didn't have to propagate owner in strict mode and left the | undefined in the signature, even though in practice it shouldn't ever be undefined?

cc @pzuraq for upstream bug that we should fix before release (currently this gives an error message saying modifier keyword cannot be used as a modifier)

Same as above

cc @rwjblue though it probably doesn't have to block merging

Ya we should fix, I agree. But it doesn't really matter for landing.
