Compilation error for class with sync/async function overloads: method is already defined #906

Description

@vgritsenko

Commit hash: a736a64

Context:
While testing swiftly's support of existing Swift code, noticed that a code using a function that is overloaded with both sync and async variants is not compiling, failing with "method is already defined" error.

import Foundation

public class Test {
    public func remove(key: String) { /* sync */ }
    public func remove(key: String) async { }
}

Results in the following compilation error:

.../.build/plugins/outputs/lib/SwiftTestLib/destination/JExtractSwiftPlugin/src/generated/java/com/example/swiftexamplelib/Test.java:93: error: method removeKey(String) is already defined in class Test
    public java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture<java.lang.Void> removeKey(java.lang.String key) {

Portion of the generated Java file:

  // ==== --------------------------------------------------
  // Test.remove
  
  /**
   * Downcall to Swift:
   * {@snippet lang=swift :
   * public func remove(key: String)
   * }
   */
  public void removeKey(java.lang.String key) {
    Test.$removeKey(key, this.$memoryAddress());
  } // printJavaBindingWrapperMethod(_:_:importedFunc:skipMethodBody:) @ JExtractSwiftLib/JNISwift2JavaGenerator+JavaBindingsPrinting.swift:950
  private static native void $removeKey(java.lang.String key, long selfPointer);
  
  
  // ==== --------------------------------------------------
  // Test.remove
  
  /**

   * }
   */
  public java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture<java.lang.Void> removeKey(java.lang.String key) {
    java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture<java.lang.Void> future$ = new java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture<java.lang.Void>();
    Test.$removeKey(key, this.$memoryAddress(), future$);
    return future$.thenApply((futureResult$) -> {
      return futureResult$;
    } // render(_:_:) @ JExtractSwiftLib/JNISwift2JavaGenerator+JavaTranslation.swift:2072
    );
  } // printJavaBindingWrapperMethod(_:_:importedFunc:skipMethodBody:) @ JExtractSwiftLib/JNISwift2JavaGenerator+JavaBindingsPrinting.swift:950
  private static native void $removeKey(java.lang.String key, long selfPointer, java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture<java.lang.Void> result_future);
