Description

Rework the runtime resolution for outer class members. ClassNodeResolver can find top-level types in outer scripts. But it requires something additional to resolve members when processing semantic analysis phase for a class and a script is added and requires all phases of processing.

There was quite a bit of code added to handle these cases individually. But it was quite complex and did not benefit the pre-compiled class users.
