The STATIC macro was introduced a very long time ago in commit
d5df6cd44a. The original reason for this was
to have the option to define it to nothing so that all static functions
become global functions and therefore visible to certain debug tools, so
one could do function size comparison and other things.
This STATIC feature is rarely (if ever) used. And with the use of LTO and
heavy inline optimisation, analysing the size of individual functions when
they are not static is not a good representation of the size of code when
fully optimised.
So the macro does not have much use and it's simpler to just remove it.
Then you know exactly what it's doing. For example, newcomers don't have
to learn what the STATIC macro is and why it exists. Reading the code is
also less "loud" with a lowercase static.
One other minor point in favour of removing it, is that it stops bugs with
`STATIC inline`, which should always be `static inline`.
Methodology for this commit was:
1) git ls-files | egrep '\.[ch]$' | \
xargs sed -Ei "s/(^| )STATIC($| )/\1static\2/"
2) Do some manual cleanup in the diff by searching for the word STATIC in
comments and changing those back.
3) "git-grep STATIC docs/", manually fixed those cases.
4) "rg -t python STATIC", manually fixed codegen lines that used STATIC.

This demonstrates how to add a sub-package in a user c module, as well
as how to define the necessary qstrs and enable the feature in the build.
This is used by the unix coverage build to test this feature.

This shows how ports can add their own custom types/classes.
It is part of the unix coverage build, so we can use it for tests too.

It's no longer needed because this macro is now processed after
preprocessing the source code via cpp (in the qstr extraction stage), which
means unused MP_REGISTER_MODULE's are filtered out by the preprocessor.

It's a bit of a pitfall with user C modules that including them in the
build does not automatically enable them. This commit changes the docs and
examples for user C modules to encourage writers of user C modules to
enable them unconditionally. This makes things simpler and covers most use
cases.
See discussion in issue #6960, and also #7086.

Add working example code to provide a starting point for users with files
that they can just copy, and include the modules in the coverage test to
verify the complete user C module build functionality. The cexample module
uses the code originally found in cmodules.rst, which has been updated to
reflect this and partially rewritten with more complete information.
