spec: every type has a method set (minor clarification)
The spec states that a type "may" have a method set associated with it. Yet every type has a method set, which may be empty. This is clarified later in the same paragraph. Be clear in the first sentence as well. Per the suggestion from https://github.com/DQNEO. Fixes #44318.
