> This PR improves the code for method/field/constructor resolution. To resolve fields and methods we have to perform two MH lookups, and find if any of them succeds. Since to code to do this is a bit convoluted, I have reimplemented the resolution support to use a more functional style (inspired by `Either` type).
> 
> I have also added several tests to make sure we test several lookup combinations, for instance/static method/fields, and also for super method resolution.
> 
> We will probably need more tests to cover the entire spectrum, but this should be at least a start.
> 
> I found 2 (!!) JDK issues when writing these tests, so some of the new tests contain workarounds.
