Description

According to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10449 public fields should now be included in the result of `MetaClass.getProperites()`. However, it seems that with Groovy 4.0.1 package private fields are also returned.

Steps to reproduce

Take this code:

println "Groovy ${GroovySystem.version}"

GroovySystem.getMetaClassRegistry().getMetaClass(LinkedHashMap).properties.forEach { prop ->
    println "${prop.name} - ${prop.class.simpleName}"
}

 
With Groovy 3.0.10 it prints:

Groovy 3.0.10
class - MetaBeanProperty
empty - MetaBeanProperty

 
With 4.0.1 it prints:

Groovy 4.0.1
keySet - CachedField
values - CachedField
DEFAULT_INITIAL_CAPACITY - CachedField
MAXIMUM_CAPACITY - CachedField
DEFAULT_LOAD_FACTOR - CachedField
TREEIFY_THRESHOLD - CachedField
UNTREEIFY_THRESHOLD - CachedField
MIN_TREEIFY_CAPACITY - CachedField
table - CachedField
entrySet - CachedField
size - CachedField
modCount - CachedField
threshold - CachedField
loadFactor - CachedField
serialVersionUID - CachedField
head - CachedField
tail - CachedField
accessOrder - CachedField
class - MetaBeanProperty
empty - MetaBeanProperty
