Exploring inner modules for binary incompatibilities. Fix #127

The former implementation of PackageInfo#accessibleClasses expects that for any
module `Foo` compiled by scalac, both `Foo.class` and `Foo$.class` classfiles
are produced. Because `Foo$.class` and `Foo.class` are essentially mirrors, and
users never access directly `Foo$.class`, MiMa only traverses the `Foo.class`. This
works well for top-level modules, but it breaks for inner modules, because no
mirror class is created for inner modules (only the module class is created).

The fix consist in treating inner modules differently, hence making sure inner
modules are part of the set returned by PackageInfo#accessibleClasses.
