At the moment when the static private method is unused
in source code (either explicitly or through eval) but is accessed
at runtime through the debugger, and there are no other potential
references to the class variable in the source code otherwise,
the reference to the class variable is lost here since the class
variable would not be context-allocated, then we could not rebuild
a proper brand check for it.
For now, a ReferenceError would be thrown and the method is considered
"optimized away", similar to how unused ordinary methods in closures
work. Before this patch it would DCHECK when generating bytecode
for the debugger instead of throwing errors.
