Description Philipe Mulet

Build R2.1

Only the most specific overriden deprecated method should impact the 
deprecation diagnosis generated when overriding a deprecated method.

class X implements I
 +- foo() ---> should not complain about overriding deprecated method

interface I implements J
 +- foo() ---> should complain about overriding deprecated method

/** @deprecated */
interface J
 +- foo()

We are now skipping over deprecated methods if we find another inherited 
interface method which 'hides' the deprecated one. There is no performance side 
affect in non-problem cases.

BUT we will not report a problem on X when implements K & J as in:

class X implements K, J
 +- foo()

interface K implements I

interface J implements I
 +- foo() ---> should complain about overriding deprecated method

/** @deprecated */
interface I
 +- foo()
