Determine whether two methods `m1` and `m2` (typically of the same

other methods of the same function; in isolation, `m1` and `m2` might
be ambiguous, but if a third method resolving the ambiguity has been
defined, this returns `false`.

For parametric types, the `ambiguous_bottom` keyword argument controls whether
`Union{}` counts as an ambiguous intersection of type parameters – when `true`,
it is considered ambiguous, when `false` it is not.
