agra 56414407fc ffi: drop static keyword on foreign-class methods; param type discriminates
`static name :: ...` was redundant — instance methods always declare
`self: *Self` as their first param by convention. The parser now derives
`is_static` from the first param's TYPE: if it's `*Self` the method is
an instance method; anything else (including no params at all) is a
class method. Removes a token from the surface, keeps the dispatch
behavior identical.

The receiver param's NAME doesn't matter — only its type. Calling the
first param `this`, `me`, `receiver`, etc. is fine as long as the type
is `*Self`. This mirrors how the rest of sx handles receiver dispatch.

Migration of every site that used the keyword:

- `library/modules/platform/android.sx` — `SurfaceView.new(ctx)`.
- `examples/ffi-jni-class-03-static.sx` — `Math.abs(n)`.
- `examples/ffi-jni-main-03-ctor.sx` — `SurfaceView.new(ctx)` in the
  `#jni_main` body.
- `examples/ffi-objc-dsl-05-static.sx` — NSObject's `.class()` /
  `.description()`.

164/164 example tests; chess clean on macOS / iOS sim / Android via
`tools/verify-step.sh`.

// Phase 3 step 3.1 (PLAN-FFI.md): static call `Cls.class_method(args)`
// on an `#objc_class` alias lowers to `objc_msg_send` against the class
// object (loaded once per module via `objc_getClass` and cached). The
// selector is derived by the same default mangling as Phase 3.0
// (`stringWithUTF8String_(s)` → "stringWithUTF8String:").
//
// Mirrors JNI's static-dispatch surface (`Alias.new(...)` etc.); the
// lowering disambiguates static vs instance by looking at
// `method.is_static` on the foreign-class member.
//
// Uses NSObject because the cached class slot is populated by a
// constructor at module-load — runtime-created test classes wouldn't
// exist yet when `objc_getClass` runs. NSObject is always available
// on macOS via libobjc.
