Description: For deleted async vtable methods we need to create a async function pointer. If the optimizer removes a private class method, its symbol must still be generated in the binary, because derived classes in other translation units must be able to reference the symbol in the vtable of the derived class.
This all worked with regular methods, but we didn't do that for async methods.
It fixes a missing-symbol linker error.
Risk: Low. It only affects private async class methods which are removed by the optimizer. Generated code, which is actually executed, is not affected. The only change is to create the missing symbol in the binary.
