Support @JvmStatic on generated Kotlin builders

[kbrooks]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to convert a project that is using the Java code generation to Kotlin in a codebase that relies heavily on generated builders. In order for the Kotlin code to be backwards compatible with the old Java code, the generated builders need a @JvmStatic annotation so they can be referenced like static methods from Java.

Describe the solution you'd like

Is there a way to configure the code generation to place a @JvmStatic annotation on the builder in the generated companion object?

Not supported. In general, scala/kotlin do not use the builder pattern. So I didn't consider compatibility with java at first, just for functional consistency.

But I agree to add this annotation to these methods by default, It's very simple. What about you? It would be better if you could create a pr. (add @JvmStatic on builder method).

I will give it a shot. Where is the kotlin builder code generated?
