methoddef!: use mt => sig format when filling in signatures

[serenity4]

This allows Revise to work with timholy/CodeTracking.jl#140. Requires JuliaDebug/JuliaInterpreter.jl#680.

This change is breaking, so we may either:

• Tag a new breaking release.
• Keep backwards compatibility by supporting a signatures vector that uses the previous sig format.

[timholy]

Looks great. You'd want to bump the [compat] for CodeTracking to 2.

I think I'd favor the breaking release, but if you see advantages in keeping backwards compatibility then I wouldn't stand in the way.

CodeTracking is not a direct dependency of LoweredCodeUtils, but since it indirectly is via JuliaInterpreter I'll add it.

The failing test at https://github.com/JuliaDebug/LoweredCodeUtils.jl/actions/runs/14648771143/job/41109358572?pr=125#step:7:112 asserts that a function object depends on its first method definition. I slightly restructured the implementation for method code edge dependencies in 8548679, and naturally expected a function binding to depend on its declaration, but not on the method definition. @aviatesk or @timholy would that be more correct according to you, or is it a regression?

In the code below, the defintion of Main.ModEval.revise538 now depends on $(Expr(:method, :(Main.ModEval.revise538))) only, and not on the actual method definition:

CodeInfo(
    @ /home/serenity4/.julia/dev/LoweredCodeUtils/test/codeedges.jl:339 within `unknown scope`
1 ─ %1  = enter #4
    @ /home/serenity4/.julia/dev/LoweredCodeUtils/test/codeedges.jl:340 within `unknown scope`
2 ─       global revise538
│         $(Expr(:latestworld))
│         $(Expr(:method, :(Main.ModEval.revise538)))
│         $(Expr(:latestworld))
│         $(Expr(:latestworld))
│   %7  = Main.ModEval.revise538
│   %8  =   dynamic Core.Typeof(%7)
│   %9  = Main.ModEval.Float32
│   %10 =   builtin Core.svec(%8, %9)
│   %11 =   builtin Core.svec()
│   %12 =   builtin Core.svec(%10, %11, $(QuoteNode(:(#= /home/serenity4/.julia/dev/LoweredCodeUtils/test/codeedges.jl:340 =#))))
│         $(Expr(:method, :(Main.ModEval.revise538), :(%12), CodeInfo(
    @ /home/serenity4/.julia/dev/LoweredCodeUtils/test/codeedges.jl:341 within `unknown scope`
1 ─ %1 = Main.ModEval.println
│   %2 =   dynamic (%1)("F32")
└──      return %2
)))
│         $(Expr(:latestworld))
│   %15 = Main.ModEval.revise538
└──       $(Expr(:leave, :(%1)))
3 ─       return %15
4 ┄       e = $(Expr(:the_exception))
│   @ /home/serenity4/.julia/dev/LoweredCodeUtils/test/codeedges.jl:344 within `unknown scope`
│   %19 = Main.ModEval.println
│   %20 =   dynamic (%19)("caught error")

Nothing in the refactor depends on that so I'm fine removing this change if necessary.

[serenity4]

Any input regarding my comment above? If unsure, I can restore the previous behavior.

[serenity4]

To be removed before merge.

This should be ready, unless someone objects to #125 (comment). I adjusted the related test in e624e99 so that it passes with the new behavior.

Before merging, I would first register version 2.0 of CodeTracking, then update JuliaInterpreter, then remove the dev patches in this PR then it will be good to go.
