[type-annos-observers] Removing target_type distinctions between constructors and methods

[Alex Buckley]

Per my response to Mike [1], the target_type values were not changed in 
the May 2 2013 spec.

I think you may be confused by the changelog for the May 2 2013 spec [2] 
where it says "Remove unused target_info method_reference_target." 
Notice this concerns the target_info structure, not target_type. Indeed, 
a stray union item was removed from target_info.
