The STATIC macro was introduced a very long time ago in commit
d5df6cd44a. The original reason for this was
to have the option to define it to nothing so that all static functions
become global functions and therefore visible to certain debug tools, so
one could do function size comparison and other things.
This STATIC feature is rarely (if ever) used. And with the use of LTO and
heavy inline optimisation, analysing the size of individual functions when
they are not static is not a good representation of the size of code when
fully optimised.
So the macro does not have much use and it's simpler to just remove it.
Then you know exactly what it's doing. For example, newcomers don't have
to learn what the STATIC macro is and why it exists. Reading the code is
also less "loud" with a lowercase static.
One other minor point in favour of removing it, is that it stops bugs with
`STATIC inline`, which should always be `static inline`.
Methodology for this commit was:
1) git ls-files | egrep '\.[ch]$' | \
xargs sed -Ei "s/(^| )STATIC($| )/\1static\2/"
2) Do some manual cleanup in the diff by searching for the word STATIC in
comments and changing those back.
3) "git-grep STATIC docs/", manually fixed those cases.
4) "rg -t python STATIC", manually fixed codegen lines that used STATIC.

Instead of being an explicit field, it's now a slot like all the other
methods.
This is a marginal code size improvement because most types have a make_new
(100/138 on PYBV11), however it improves consistency in how types are
declared, removing the special case for make_new.

For time-based functions that work with absolute time there is the need for
an Epoch, to set the zero-point at which the absolute time starts counting.
Such functions include time.time() and filesystem stat return values. And
different ports may use a different Epoch.
To make it clearer what functions use the Epoch (whatever it may be), and
make the ports more consistent with their use of the Epoch, this commit
renames all Epoch related functions to include the word "epoch" in their
name (and remove references to "2000").
Along with this rename, the following things have changed:
- mp_hal_time_ns() is now specified to return the number of nanoseconds
since the Epoch, rather than since 1970 (but since this is an internal
function it doesn't change anything for the user).
- littlefs timestamps on the esp8266 have been fixed (they were previously
off by 30 years in nanoseconds).
Otherwise, there is no functional change made by this commit.

Header files that are considered internal to the py core and should not
normally be included directly are:
py/nlr.h - internal nlr configuration and declarations
py/bc0.h - contains bytecode macro definitions
py/runtime0.h - contains basic runtime enums
Instead, the top-level header files to include are one of:
py/obj.h - includes runtime0.h and defines everything to use the
mp_obj_t type
py/runtime.h - includes mpstate.h and hence nlr.h, obj.h, runtime0.h,
and defines everything to use the general runtime support functions
Additional, specific headers (eg py/objlist.h) can be included if needed.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
