Add `staticcall to address`.

Changelog.md

@@ -71,6 +71,7 @@ Breaking Changes:
  * View Pure Checker: Strictly enfore state mutability. This was already the case in the experimental 0.5.0 mode.
 
 Language Features:
+ * Genreal: Add ``staticcall`` to ``address``.
  * General: Allow appending ``calldata`` keyword to types, to explicitly specify data location for arguments of external functions.
  * General: Support ``pop()`` for storage arrays.
  * General: Scoping rules now follow the C99-style.

 It might be that you run into Out-of-Gas for ``sha256``, ``ripemd160`` or ``ecrecover`` on a *private blockchain*. The reason for this is that those are implemented as so-called precompiled contracts and these contracts only really exist after they received the first message (although their contract code is hardcoded). Messages to non-existing contracts are more expensive and thus the execution runs into an Out-of-Gas error. A workaround for this problem is to first send e.g. 1 Wei to each of the contracts before you use them in your actual contracts. This is not an issue on the official or test net.
