VMMaker 4.7.5

Honor #static: pragmas (or 'self static: true' ) for interpreter classes. This is a fix for SlangTest>>testInterpDeclareStatic. With this update, all VMMaker-Tests tests are green.

Implements the following policy:
- Always honor a #static: pragma (or 'self static: true' statement).
- If not explicitly declared, defer to the code generator to determine default.
- Plugin methods are declared static by default (local to the plugin).
- Interpreter methods are declared not static by default (visible to support code).

This retains existing code generation behavior, but permits methods in the interpreter to be declared static if desired.
