9df02b2366 Support Groovy $Trait$FieldHelper classes in new class file reader
Preface: for Groovy traits with fields, the Groovy compiler generates
synthetic "$Trait$FieldHelper" classes which posed several problems to
our class file reader, caused by the fact that the contents of the
InnerClasses attribute broke some assumptions about how names on the JVM
are formed and used.

For a trait named `A`, the Groovy compiler will additionally generate a
synthetic class file `A$Trait$FieldHelper` with the following in the
InnerClasses attribute:

InnerClasses:
     public static #15= #2 of #14; //FieldHelper=class A$Trait$FieldHelper of class A

i.e. the simple name of the class is `FieldHelper`, the name of its
outer class is `A`, but the full internal name is `A$Trait$FieldHelper`,
which is surprising considering that the names are usually obtained by
separating the outer and inner names via the dollar sign.

Another detail is that in some usages of this synthetic class, the
InnerClasses attribute was missing at all. For example, if an empty
class `B` extends `A`, then there's no InnerClasses attribute in `B`'s
class file, which is surprising because we might decode the same name
differently depending on the class file we encounter it in.

In this change, we attempt to treat these synthetic classes as top-level
by refusing to read "invalid" InnerClasses attribute values (they are
not technically invalid because they still conform to JVMS), fixing the
problem of "unresolved supertypes" error which occurred when these
classes were used as supertypes in a class file in a dependency.

1) In ClassifierResolutionContext.mapInternalNameToClassId, do not use
   the ad-hoc logic (copy-pasted from intellij-core) to determine class
   id heuristically from the internal name. For $Trait$FieldHelper
   classes this logic attempted to replace all dollar signs with dots,
   which was semantically incorrect: dollars there were used as
   synthetic characters, not as a separator between outer and inner
   classes.
2) In isNotTopLevelClass (Other.kt), only consider "valid" InnerClasses
   attribute values, where the full name of the class is obtained by
   separating the outer name and the inner name with a dollar character.
   This way, we'll be able to treat class files with invalid attribute
   values as top-level and avoid breaking any other assumptions in the
   class file loader.
3) In BinaryJavaClass.visitInnerClass, record all valid InnerClasses
   attribute values present in the class file, not just those related to
   the class in question itself. This is needed now because previously,
   the removed heuristics (see p.1) transformed mentioned inner class
   names to class ids correctly >99% of the time. Now that the
   heuristics are gone, we'll use the information present in the class
   file to map names correctly and predictably. According to JVMS, this
   attribute should contain information about all inner classes
   mentioned in the class file, and this is true at least for class
   files produced by javac.
