The two main things to change was to account for fields in abstract value classes when collecting/accessing all fields which was not expected before and updating the way we handle larvals.

The only thing required after the call was to detect if we actually inlined another constructor with the same receiver within the same concrete value class. If that's the case, we need to update the exit map to propagate the initialized receiver to the caller.

Therefore, we cannot eagerly mark an inline type as non-larval once the concrete value class constructor is completed nor when an abstract value class constructor is completed (there could be multiple).
