Torsten Ruger da9dc30c20 move dynamic_call to builder
no change of test, great
also remove some duplicate code that was hanging around in method_compiler

# A dynamic call calls a method at runtime. This off course implies that we don't know the
# method at compile time and so must "find" it. Resolving, or finding the method, is a
# a seperate instruction though, and here we assume that we know this Method instance.
#
# Both (to be called) Method instance and the type of receiver are stored as
# variables here. The type is used to check before calling.
#
# Setting up the method is not part of this instructions scope. That setup
# includes the type check and any necccessay method resolution.
# See vool send statement

# One could almost think that one can resolve this to a Risc::FunctionCall
# (which btw resolves to a simple jump), alas, the FunctionCall, like all other
# jumping, resolves the address at compile time.
#
# Instead we need a DynamicJump instruction that explicitly takes a register as
# a target (not a label)
