Looks into indirect types during compilation in presence of native method invocation

[pietrobraione]

This is related to issue #543. I am including (bug.zip) an example Eclipse 2023-06 workspace with a project, a sliced version of https://github.com/pietrobraione/jbse. The project is compiled with Java 8 and contains one class called jbse.base.JAVA_CONCURRENTMAP. This class extends java.util.AbstractMap and overrides the hashCode() method. In the overriding implementation of the hashCode() method there is an invocation to a native method refineOnKeyCombinationsAndBranch. If this invocation is removed, the code compiles correctly. If this invocation is kept, compilation fails with the error:

Description Resource Path Location Type
The type java.lang.invoke.VarHandle cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files JAVA_CONCURRENTMAP.java /jbse/src/main/java/jbse/base line 1 Java Problem

I am reporting this issue as a related but distinct issue from #543 because I started to experience it only recently, if I do not remember bad it should be since Eclipse 2022-06.
