For a more efficient lookup of a companion with the functions of obtaining a serializer, a special annotation is added to the named companions.

These declarations should not be visible to users (and therefore are not added to FIR),
but plugin itself can reference them in already compiled serializable classes,
and therefore they should be available in metadata:
- synthetic deserialization constructor
- static write$Self function

of the class used in @UseSerializers: Use methods to receive
full list of supertypes.
K1 supertypes() call returned all supertypes, while
IrClass.supertypes and FirClassSymbol.resolvedSuperTypes return only immediate ones.
This lead to a difference in behavior between K1 and K2, and regression
after plugin backend was rewritten from descriptors to IR.
