#1378 UselessOverridingMethod not valid if target method changes protected method to public

[Jason Mathews]

This code is triggering UselessOverridingMethod issue but if target modifier is less strict then it is not a useless overriding method. Test needs to check the modifiers if making method less strict.

 public class Foo extends Bar {

    // following method flagged as UselessOverridingMethod
    public void setName(String str) {
        super.setName(str);
    }

 }

 public class Bar {

    protected void setName(String str) {
        super.setName(str);
    }

 }

I guess, this is similar as [#807].
