The Semantics and Association columns were read from offsets relative
to the metadata root instead of the current row: Semantics always
decoded the first two bytes of the metadata header and Association a
constant offset near it, so only the Method column ever carried real
row data. The Association coded-index width also used the plain-index
threshold (2^16) instead of the coded one (2^15 for one tag bit).
Rewrite the loop with a BlobReader positioned at the table start,
reading each column in sequence, and introduce SimpleIndexSize and
CodedIndexSize helpers encoding the ECMA-335 II.24.2.6 width rules.
The GUI's MethodSemantics metadata table view consumes this helper and
displayed the garbage values.
