INIT table is sufficient also for exploring record RTTI by TypeInfo.

As I already wrote it's not. The INIT table is a subset that only includes
managed fields while the RTTI table also contains unmanaged ones. This way
the helpers don't need to work through larger records that only contain
primitive types.
If that isn't the case then *that* is a bug.
