When parsing Java classes with just a class name (without method signature), JBMC was incorrectly using `resolve_friendly_method_name` which could report 'main method is ambiguous' errors. This fix checks if `config.main` contains a method signature (has a colon) and handles simple class names separately by looking for the standard main method signature directly. This aligns the Java front-end with Java's specification, where only `public static void main(String[] args)` is recognized as a valid program entry point. Fixes: diffblue#759
