Many `self` reads are synthesised from method calls with an implicit
`self` receiver. Synthesised nodes have no `toGenerated` result, which
the default definition of `isCapturedAccess` uses to determine if a
variable's scope matches the access's scope.
Hence we override the definition to properly identify accesses like the
call `puts` (below) as captured reads of a `self` variable defined in a
parent scope.
In other words, `puts x` is short for `self.puts x` and the `self`
refers to its value in the scope of the module `Foo`.
```ruby
module Foo
MY_PROC = -> (x) { puts x }
end
```
We also have to update the SSA `SelfDefinition` to exclude captured
`self` variables.
