Reading Delegate.Method on an open delegate to a private generic-base method can assert in Checked CoreCLR or expose that method through the derived type’s reflection cache in Release.

• Resolution: Resolve the method against its exact generic base instantiation, not the delegate’s derived first-argument type.
• Regression coverage: Verify the method’s reflected type and that the derived type’s method list remains unchanged.

• Fixes VM: (bug) Delegate.Method on an open delegate to an inherited private generic-base method pollutes the derived type's reflection cache #134219

Removed the newly added ReflectedType assertion in 114ca9a; it reflected CoreCLR behavior but is not valid for NativeAOT. The original nullable by-ref invocation test remains. CoreLib rebuilt, and the StackTrace and System.Runtime suites passed locally; I did not run NativeAOT locally.

@copilot Keep the assertion. Instead, ensure that both regular CoreCLR and NativeAOT have the same behavior.

Restored the assertion and fixed NativeAOT in 7108211a. Nullable-method delegates use an object-array adapter there; it now retains the original MethodInfo, so Delegate.Method.ReflectedType is Nullable<int> rather than the delegate type. The test failed before and passed after the fix on NativeAOT. Full System.Runtime suites passed on both NativeAOT (78,873 tests, 0 failures) and Checked CoreCLR (79,997 tests, 0 failures); NativeAOT StackTrace tests also passed (135 tests, 0 failures).

@copilot Revert the last comit. Too compilated to handle this corner case.

Reverted 7108211a in full in 2ce36d11, including the NativeAOT adapter changes and the nullable ReflectedType assertion it restored. The original CoreCLR fix remains. Checked baseline and NativeAOT rebuild succeeded; CreateDelegateTests passed on both runtimes (42 tests each).
