Ah, right, such methods can definitely be sources - they just can't have flow through. |

Description
This PR excludes parameterless static methods from consideration for MaD models, based on a suggestion from @aschackmull. The exclusion is added to the
isRelevantForModelspredicate forDataFlowTargetApi.The exclusion is also added to the
isUninterestingpredicate forExternalApi.Consideration
I was going to make this change for C# as well, but I noticed that there seem to be some parameterless static C# methods that should be modeled as sources based on the
Telemetry/SupportedExternalSourcestest cases (namely,System#Console.ReadLine()andSystem#Console.Read()), so I removed C# from the PR. Let me know if I should add C# back to the PR.Also, let me know if there would be any similar cases in Java where some parameterless static methods should in fact have models (I couldn't find any examples of this, but I might not have searched long enough).
