Add an indicator to method metadata to indicate static methods

[bitwes]

Describe the project you are working on:
The GUT unit testing framework.

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project:
When creating doubles for objects I cannot determine if a method is static or not which causes error when instantiating said object.

Describe how this feature / enhancement will help you overcome this problem or limitation:
I can exclude static methods from doubling.

Show a mock up screenshots/video or a flow diagram explaining how your proposal will work:
In the results of get_method_list the dictionary would include some way to determine if a method is static or not.

Describe implementation detail for your proposal (in code), if possible:
NA

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?:
There is a workaround. Barring any way to determine the status from info provided by the engine, I must make users specify a list of functions not to double. This is more cumbersome for users than it is to code.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?:
I don't know how an add-on could supply this info. It's also useful information that others may need at some point. Most everything else about the method is provided by get_method_list

There is an annotations #20318 issue opened here which if ever implemented should help solve problems like this.

I've ran into the same issue as you with WAT so I've ended up defaulting to a deferred creation of a partial double. Users get a TestDoubleDirector back and then it is up them to short-circuit the methods (director.method("add").stub(null) or in this use case director.method("add", "static").stub(null) and then the method structures are written once the users call var dbl = director.double())

On a related note the addition of annotations means we could possibly do:

@test
method()

which would also be awesome.
