class SuperAccessors

This class performs the following functions:

(1) Adds super accessors for all super calls that either appear in a trait or have as a target a member of some outer class.

(2) Adds protected accessors if the access to the protected member happens in a class which is not a subclass of the member's owner.

It also checks that:

(1) Symbols accessed from super are not abstract, or are overridden by an abstract override.

(2) If a symbol accessed from super is defined in a real class (not a trait), there are no abstract members which override this member in Java's rules (see SI-4989; such an access would lead to illegal bytecode)

(3) Super calls do not go to some synthetic members of Any (see isDisallowed)

(4) Super calls do not go to synthetic field accessors

Some parts of trees will get a new owner in subsequent phases. These are value class methods, which will become extension methods. (By-name arguments used to be included also, but these don't get a new class anymore, they are just wrapped in a new method).

These regions will have to be treated specially for the purpose of adding accessors. For instance, super calls from these regions always have to go through an accessor.

The invalidEnclClass field, if different from NoSymbol, contains the symbol that is not a valid owner.

Does sym need an accessor when accessed from currentClass? A special case arises for classes with explicit self-types. If the self type is a Java class, and a protected accessor is needed, we issue an error. If the self type is a Scala class, we don't add an accessor. An accessor is not needed if the access boundary is larger than the enclosing package, since that translates to 'public' on the host sys. (as Java has no real package nesting).

If the access happens inside a 'trait', access is more problematic since the implementation code is moved to an '$class' class which does not inherit anything. Since we can't (yet) add accessors for 'required' classes, this has to be signaled as error. FIXME Need to better understand this logic
