This fixes an issue where get on abstract top val didn't consider Receiver.
This also illustrates two common patterns of getters that are not pure. One is reading a mutable property known by Prepack and one is lazily initializing a shared mutable property.
I believe we'll want to continue supporting these patterns since they almost always work anyway. Note that supporting these don't add much negative consequence. We can still eliminate unused getters. Most of the time these patterns doesn't happen where the prototype is unknown or havoced.
Usually the getter is abstract because the Receiver itself is unknown or havoced (not its prototype). So havocing even more doesn't have any further negative downside.
