The problem from KT-63624 was that during matching phase we must choose
only one candidate, but in Java we can have two successfully matched
properties: 1) from field and 2) from method, which overrides Kotlin
property.
See test `propertyAgainstJavaPrivateFieldAndPublicMethod.kt`.
As a result, we choose field candidate, throw away method candidate, and
then fail during visibility check.
Instead of inventing special rule of prioritizing field over method
it was decided to prohibit actualization to Java field at all because:
1. It doesn't seem that Java fields actualization was implemented in K1
on purpose
2. People usually don't use public Java fields, and use instead
private field + getter, especially when compatibility is important, so
it shouldn't be a breaking change
Besides that, such solution simplifies code and is consistent with
the current logic of matcher, which doesn't expect that two members
can be matched successfully. Also, it fixes KT-63624 and KT-63667.
