Summary: Making protected method public should trigger an ERROR

Initial Comment:
As reported by Simon in http://www.mail-archive.com/de...@my.../msg35694.html

Anything marked as ERROR is a binary incompatibility. Actually there is one case that *is* an incompatibility that clirr has only rated as INFO: a method was promoted from protected to public.

This technically can break subclasses that override the method and declare the overriding version as protected.
