Don't duplicate match checks for inherited trait bodies (#4628)

Due to how default method bodies are implemented, we only want to
do match checks within the context of the trait, not in the context
of the class that has inherited the method.

+## Don't duplicate match checks for inherited trait bodies
+
+Due to how we were doing match checks, some usages of match in default method bodies of traits and interfaces could end up failing checking once they were "inherited" by the implementing class.
+
+For example, the following failed to compile:
+
+```pony
+primitive Prim
+  fun ignore() => None
+
+trait A
+  fun union(): (Prim | None)
+
+  fun match_it(): Bool =>
+    match union()
+    | let p: Prim =>
+      p.ignore()
+      true
+    | None =>
+      false
+    end
+
+class B is A
+  fun union(): Prim =>
+    Prim
+```
+
+We've updated to only do the match checks checking the trait's default method bodies.
