### Task List
- [x] Steps to reproduce provided
- [x] Stacktrace (if present) provided
- [x] Example that reproduces the problem uploaded to Github
- [x] Full description of the issue provided (see below)
### Steps to Reproduce
Add constraint to a `@Lazy` property:
```groovy
@GrailsCompileStatic
class TestCommand implements Validateable {
@Lazy
String someProperty = null
static constraints = {
someProperty nullable:false
}
}
```
### Expected Behaviour
Code should compile. Constraint should work.
### Actual Behaviour
Code won't compile:
```
[Static type checking] - Cannot find matching method TestCommand#someProperty(java.util.LinkedHashMap ) Please check if the declared type is correct and if the method exists.
```
Code works as expected without `@GrailsCompileStatic`
Would it be possible to support this?
Maybe by adding `|| receiver.getProperty(name)` [here](https://github.com/grails/grails-core/blob/master/grails-core/src/main/groovy/org/grails/compiler/ValidateableTypeCheckingExtension.groovy#L62)?
### Environment Information
- **Operating System**: macOS 10.14.5
- **Grails Version:** 3.3.10
- **JDK Version:** 1.8.0_192

Research direction
Start in grails-core/src/main/groovy/org/grails/compiler/ValidateableTypeCheckingExtension.groovy around line 62 and review the linked lazy-validateable example. Reproduce the @GrailsCompileStatic class with an @Lazy property and nullable constraint; done means it compiles and the constraint works as it does without @GrailsCompileStatic.
