 Place static closures in their own section.

 Summary:
 The primary reason for doing this is assisting debuggability:
 if static closures are all in the same section, they are
 guaranteed to be adjacent to one another.  This will help
 later when we add some code that takes section start/end and
 uses this to sanity-check the sections.
