Refactor constant folding of applications

Move them in typedApply/typedTypeApply instead of leaving them until adapt.
This aligns these folds with folds of uniary operations, which are done already
in typedSelect and avoids potentially several calls to ConstFold when arguments
are passed to overloaded methods.
