Re: [whatwg/encoding] Add a static decode and encode method to `TextEncoder` and `TextDecoder` (#267)

Added - forgot it existed.

Just checked spec - wouldn't just be confusing but also against webidl spec:

"The identifier of a static operation also must not be the same as the identifier of a regular operation defined on the same interface." - https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#idl-operations

As to why it would be confusing: "just call TextDecoder.decode" would have two meanings now. Also what would for example the MDN link be? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TextDecoder/decode is already taken for the prototype method.
