bug#21409: 24.5; Wrong syntactic information for two line statement in an arglist

I know this is an old bug report, but I just realized it got a response,
and it seems like the behavior hasn't changed.

It's definitely reasonable, but it's not what I'd prefer, which would be
this:

foo(bar
      .baz()
      .qux());

`.baz()` and `.qux()` are indented two spaces (my value for
`c-basic-offset`) from the start of `bar`, as opposed to aligned with
`bar`. This matches what happens if the call to `foo` isn't there:

bar
  .baz()
  .qux();

In any case, regardless of what indentation one would prefer for this case,
the issue remains that `c-show-syntactic-information` should be showing
`statement-cont` instead of `arglist-cont-nonempty` at `.baz()`.
