If an override B.f() is more visible than a base method A.f(), it is
possible that an override C.f() of B.f() cannot see the original method
A.f().
In this case, we would encounter linker errors if we referenced the
method descriptor or method dispatch thunk for A.f().
Make this work by treating B.f() as the least derived method in this
case, and ensuring that the vtable thunk for B.f() dispatches through
the vtable again.
