doc: use _Static method_ instead of _Class Method_

Our docs describe static methods as Class Methods which seems
idiosyncratic for JavaScript. Align with MDN which calls them static
methods.

Refs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Contribute/Structures/API_references/What_does_an_API_reference_need

JSON format for our docs will still use the key name `classMethods` for
this. I would like to change it to `staticMethods` but I don't know if
that will break things for consumers. So, leaving it alone. It's a
machine-consumable label more than a human-readable so I can live with
that.
