Emit trait method bodies in statics

And use this as the target of the default methods or
statically resolved super or $init calls.

The call-site change is predicated on `-Yuse-trait-statics`
as a stepping stone for experimentation / bootstrapping.

I have performed this transformation in the backend,
rather than trying to reflect this in the view from
Scala symbols + ASTs.

Once we commit to this change, we can remove the
`lateInterfaces` bookkeeping from the backend, as we no
long will need to add ancestor interfaces as direct
parents to allow use of invokespecial for super calls.
