Pull request overview
This PR updates the cDAC RuntimeTypeSystem_1 contract implementation to ensure a MethodTable is validated/created/cached before dereferencing _methodTables[...] in code paths that start from a MethodDesc (rather than from an already-constructed TypeHandle). This reduces the chance of runtime failures (e.g., KeyNotFoundException) when querying generic context/metadata-related properties for a method.
Changes:
- Route
MethodDesc-based MethodTable lookups throughGetOrCreateMethodTable(methodDesc)instead of directly indexing_methodTables[methodDesc.MethodTable]. - Apply this in generic context location evaluation and in the abstract-method metadata check.

- This change fixes a previously possible
KeyNotFoundExceptionwhenGetGenericContextLoc(viaRequiresInstArgMethodTable/IsSharedByGenericInstantiations/IsAbstract) is invoked for aMethodDescHandlewhose owning MethodTable hasn't been cached yet (e.g., afterGetMethodDescHandlewithout any priorGetTypeHandle). There are existing cDAC unit tests forIRuntimeTypeSystem/MethodDescbehavior, but none appear to cover this regression. Please add a targeted unit test that callsGetMethodDescHandle(...)and thenGetGenericContextLoc(...)without pre-caching the MethodTable, and asserts it does not throw and returns the expectedGenericContextLocfor the constructed mock MethodTable/method.
MethodTable mt = GetOrCreateMethodTable(methodDesc);
if (mt.Flags.IsValueType)
return true;
if (mt.Flags.IsInterface && !IsAbstract(methodDesc))
return true;

Before checking the dict of MTs when not coming directly from a constructed TypeHandle, ensure that the MethodTable is created.
