-----------
remove all uses of STATIC in core
STATIC was first defined internally (as '#define STATIC static) in
regexp.c in perl-2.0, then copied to regcomp.c (and thence later to
regcomp_internal.h) and regexec.c in perl-3.000.
In 76e3520e1f6b (1998), the PERL_OBJECT feature was added. It allowed
for multiplicity as follows: All global variables and functions were
wrapped in a C++ class (CPerlObj), so all access to interpreter state
implicitly went through 'this->...'. Any internal function that used
variables or functions of the perl interpreter had to be non-static
because it was actually a member function of CPerlObj (and declaring
member functions 'static' means they don't have access to 'this'). Thus
all such functions were changed from 'static' to 'STATIC' and a
conditional definition was added to perl.h: In normal configurations,
'STATIC' would just expand to 'static', but under PERL_OBJECT, 'STATIC'
would expand to nothing.
In acfe0abcedaf (2001), PERL_OBJECT was removed again ("deprecated
cruft", "has long since stopped working"). Ever since, 'STATIC' has been
unconditionally defined as 'static'.
But instead of slowly getting removed over time, new uses of STATIC were
added, even in places where it would have made no sense under
PERL_OBJECT, such as XS modules.
This patch removes all remaining uses of STATIC in core and changes them
to static.

perl.h: move STATIC to !PERL_CORE
... with the rest of the PERL_OBJECT macros. We retain STATIC for
compatibility with XS code, but core should just use static instead.
