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.

The primary purpose of this commit is to make decompress default to
wbits=15 when the format is gzip (or auto format with gzip detected). The
idea is that someone decompressing a gzip stream should be able to use the
default `deflate.DeflateIO(f)` and it will "just work" for any input
stream, even though it uses a lot of memory.
This is done by making uzlib report gzip files as having wbits set to 15
in their header (where it previously only set the wbits out parameter for
zlib files), and then fixing up the logic in `deflateio_init_read`.
Updates the documentation to match.

This provides similar functionality to the former zlib.DecompIO and
especially CPython's gzip.GzipFile for both compression and decompression.
This class can be used directly, and also can be used from Python to
implement (via io.BytesIO) zlib.decompress and zlib.compress, as well as
gzip.GzipFile.
Enable/disable this on all ports/boards that zlib was previously configured
for.
