Type checker appears to be unable to handle this and super #69

Description

@mattcce

Attempting to use the this and super keywords results in a failure before the CSE machine starts to run; outputted errors appear to suggest the problem originates from the type checker.

Test code:

class C {
    private int x = 2;
    
    public C(int y) {
    }
    
    public void instanceMethod(int y) {
        C d = new C(2);
        int i = d.x;
        x = 0;
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        C c = new C(1);
        c.instanceMethod(1);
    }
}

class D extends C {
    public void instanceMethod(int y) {
        // code does not 'compile'; CSE machine never starts running
        this.instanceMethod(1); // fails (error A)
        super.instanceMethod(1); // fails (error B)
    }
}

Console Output
error A (truncated): Error: Check is not implemented for this type of node This.
error B (truncated): Error: not implemented
