Details:
    ** This changeset under consideration for 4.2.0.1

[This changeset is a second revision of an earlier changeset, to ensure the new test case listed in the JIRA runs correctly. Everything indicated under Tests has been retested with this revision.]

The implementation of catchFunctionExceptions (catcherrors) was blind to static functions,
    'this' cannot be used in static functions.

To tell that a function is static, this changeset peeks up the tree to the parent of the function node, which should be a ASTModifiedDefinition ('moddef'), and checks the static flag there. A shortcut in copying part of the tree without the moddef needed to be fixed, to do that, a 'shallow copy' function was added to the moddef class.

An alternate way of detecting static-ness is to set a 'static' property in the options. I had tried in addressing LPP-5813 (not yet completed), and had some trouble getting it to work. It's not clear which one is cleaner, but the one that works wins for me.

This fix is slightly more encompassing than it needs to be, it also disables any possibility of applying the WITH_THIS directive within a static function. This should always be
    correct.

This changeset also fixes a bug in that previously, ASTFunctionExpressions were not considered for the 'try/catch' treatment. This effectively excluded state methods, and probably some other important cases. Fixing this exposed an error in smoketest
    (only shown when catcherrors is true).

        Tests: 880 Failures: 1 Errors: 1
TestFailure: «<IntentionalErrors>»/testUndefinedErrors failed: Total number of expected errors: expected 1 got 0 TestError: «<IntentionalErrors>»/testUndefinedErrors failed: Wrong error: expected «function» got 'testing: 1, 2, 3'

ptw believes this test case should be rewritten: That error is because that test is using arguments.callee to fake a closure (which is not going to work because the transform moves the code to an inner closure, and arguments.callee no longer gets it to the original function.


Tests:
(dhtml,swf8,swf9) x (lzpix,weather,smokecheck,hello) x (enable catcherrors, disable catcherrors) -- smokecheck error for swf9 x smokecheck x (enable catcherrors) as noted above.
