Fixes #5229

SemanticClassification.isValRefMutable treated compiler-generated ref
cells for recursive self-references (as this, let rec self-refs) as
user-written mutable bindings, causing wrong IDE colorization.

Adds positive and negative coverage for SemanticClassification of `as this` self-references in class bodies. These tests currently fail because isValRefMutable in SemanticClassification.fs treats the internal ref-cell compilation of CtorThisVal as a user-written mutable binding. Sprint 02 applies the surgical fix to make them pass.

The compiler compiles recursive object self-references (`as this`,
recursive `let rec` self-refs) through a ref cell for initialization.
SemanticClassification.isValRefMutable previously treated that internal
ref cell as a user-written mutable binding, causing the IDE colorizer
to paint the self-reference with the MutableVar shade.

Mirror the existing guard in FSharpMemberOrFunctionOrValue.IsMutable
(src/Compiler/Symbols/Symbols.fs) by excluding vref.IsCtorThisVal from
the isRefCellTy branch.

Apply dotnet fantomas to the SemanticClassification fix and its regression tests (both already conformant, no diff); add a release-notes entry for the service-side change. No production logic changes.
