Bug 18438 – hasStaticMember fails with a T* while hasMember passes

Seems __traits(hasMember, T*, m) is resolved amicably by the compiler and it tells you if m is a member of T or not. OTOH, hasStaticMember barfs with a compiler error if you give it a T*. Due to the implementation of hasStaticMember, compilation only fails with member fields, not functions. Error: cannot interpret T* at compile time IMO, hasMember and hasStaticMember should either both fail on a T* or both not fail. This fixes the latter if desired, and I'm happy to push a PR and fix as needed if this is the correct direction: https://github.com/aliak00/phobos/commit/3d5b9677944acb7439dd1564fac899400b00de32 (There was a bug in the unittest which I fixed in the same commit as well. If this is not ok, I'm happy to alter as required.)
