Please review a small change to the VisibleMemberTable, such that 
javadoc will treat methods with a covariant return type as a non-trivial 
override.  This means that such methods will show up explicitly in the 
main summary table for a type, and not be relegated to the "Methods 
declared in" section of the summary table.
