This change modifies the current language by requiring explicit `self` parameter declaration
for methods. Methods without `self` parameter in the first position should be treated as statics
although that is not yet part of this PR. We add an implicit self to all methods
This obviously required updating the whole stdlib and its components, tests etc but the change
is pretty straightforward in the diff.
Notice that this change **does not** change method dispatch, which was removed in the last changes.
This was done on purpose to simplify the implementation for now. We will likely still remove all
those implicit selfs to bring true statics.
Minor caveat - since `main` doesn't actually need self, already removed that which simplified
a lot of code.
Add some additional scenarios to Excel append tests:
- Non-A1 start
- Name duplication
- Hitting another range
# Important Notes
Also fixed a warning in the Image library.
More and more often I need a way to only recover a specific type of a dataflow error (in a similar manner as with panics). So the API for `Error.catch` has been amended to more closely resemble `Panic.catch`, allowing to handle only specific types of dataflow errors, passing others through unchanged. The default is `Any`, meaning all errors are caught by default, and the behaviour of `x.catch` remains unchanged.
A semi-manual s/this/self appied to the whole standard library.

In the compiler promoted to use constants instead of hardcoded
`this`/`self` whenever possible.
# Important Notes
The PR **does not** require explicit `self` parameter declaration for methods as this part
of the design is still under consideration.
Auto-generate all builtin methods for builtin `File` type from method signatures.
Similarly, for `ManagedResource` and `Warning`.
Additionally, support for specializations for overloaded and non-overloaded methods is added.
Coverage can be tracked by the number of hard-coded builtin classes that are now deleted.
## Important notes
Notice how `type File` now lacks `prim_file` field and we were able to get rid off all of those
propagating method calls without writing a single builtin node class.
Similarly `ManagedResource` and `Warning` are now builtins and `Prim_Warnings` stub is now gone.
- Added Encoding type
- Added `Text.bytes`, `Text.from_bytes` with Encoding support
- Renamed `File.read` to `File.read_text`
- Renamed `File.write` to `File.write_text`
- Added Encoding support to `File.read_text` and `File.write_text`
- Added warnings to invalid encodings
