Generate $delegate method as instance method in
PropertyReferenceDelegationLowering, and remove dispatch receiver later
in MakePropertyDelegateMethodsStatic. The method needs to be static to
be non-overridable (see delegateMethodIsNonOverridable.kt), and public
to be accessible in reflection.
Otherwise we generated incorrect IR where a static function accessed an
instance field of the containing class, which failed in multiple places
including LocalDeclarationsLowering.

Now this:
class C {
val x = something
val y by x::property
}
is *exactly* the same as this:
class C {
val x = something
val y get() = x.property
}
(plus a `getY$delegate` method)
E.g. a statement like
var x by ::y
is semantically equivalent to
var x
get() = y
set(value) { y = value }
and thus does not need a full property reference object, or even a field
if the receiver is not bound.
