This fixes compilation of the `re` natmod example when built with Picolibc
in the CI environment. Ubuntu 22.04's combination of its bare metal RISC-V
toolchain and its version of Picolibc makes the `alloca` symbol more
elusive than it should be.
This commit makes the `re` natmod try harder to get an `alloca`
implementation.

This commit adds support for RV32IMC native modules, as in embedding native
code into a self-contained MPY module and and make its exported functions
available to the MicroPython environment.

Currently the stack limit margin is hard-coded in each port's call to
`mp_stack_set_limit()`, but on threaded ports it's fiddlier and can lead to
bugs (such as incorrect thread stack margin on esp32).
This commit provides a new API to initialise the C Stack in one function
call, with a config macro to set the margin. Where possible the new call
is inlined to reduce code size in thread-free ports.
Intended replacement for `MP_TASK_STACK_LIMIT_MARGIN` on esp32.
The previous `stackctrl.h` API is still present and unmodified apart from a
deprecation comment. However it's not available when the
`MICROPY_PREVIEW_VERSION_2` macro is set.

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.
