Harbour's ::super: idiom routes a method call through the parent of
the class that defines the currently-executing method — Self stays
the child instance, only the vtable entry point shifts. Five
previously parsed ::super as a data-field access (PushSelfField("SUPER"))
which returned nil and panicked on the subsequent Send.
Runtime: Thread.SendSuper(fromClassName, methodName, nArgs).
Binding to the *defining* class (not Self's runtime class) is
load-bearing for 3+ level hierarchies: without it,
Grand:New → ::super:New → Child:New → ::super:New
would resolve to Grand.Parent=Child again and infinite-loop.
Gengo: Generator.curMethodClass tracks the class name across each
method body emission. emitSendExpr detects the nested SendExpr
shape `::super:X(...)` and emits SendSuper with curMethodClass as
the first argument.
Tested (/tmp/test_super, /tmp/test_super2):
Parent → Child: ::super:Greet() returns composed result
Base → Child → Grand: ::super:New chain passes args correctly
Also fixes three gengo unit tests whose expected output was stale
from prior perf commits (b829ed4 const prop, 1f63c7f symbol hoist,
7e4079f string-concat reassoc) — assertions now match the current
optimized codegen.
FiveSql2 43/43, Harbour compat 56/56, Go test ALL PASS.
