Protected inherited members not documented in derived class if protected

configuration change:

In Doxygen 1.8.3.1, Test class's documentation correctly documents inherited
function Base::func().

In Doxygen 1.8.9.1, Test class's documentation does not document the
inherited function.

This is still and issue as of 1.11.0

[doxygen]

The original example was:

/**
 *  Base class
 */
class Base
{
public:
    /**
     * base func
     */
    void func();

protected:
    void pro();
};

/**
 * Test class
 */
class Test : protected Base
{
};

And the config file doxygen -x

# Difference with default Doxyfile 1.12.0 (657295e307c50e20c89a2bb00d45641868b4cc35)
HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS     = YES

The output shows an empty section for additional members (so when counting doxygen concludes there is something to show, but then it isn't actually rendered)

@doxygen Hi Dmitri!

This does fix our issue. Thank you so much! :)

[doxygen]

This issue was previously marked 'fixed but not released',
which means it should be fixed in doxygen version 1.12.0.
Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
issue if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information
that you think can be relevant (preferably in the form of a self-contained example).
