Use new function mp_obj_new_str_from_cstr() where appropriate. It
simplifies the code, and makes it smaller too.

Other constants such as `machine.Pin.OUT` are defined on the class that
uses them, rather than at the module level. This commit makes that the
case for WLAN network interfaces, adding IF_xxx and SEC_xxx constants.
The SEC_xxx constants are named as such to match the `security` keyword
that they are used with. And the IF_xxx constants have IF as a prefix so
they are grouped together as names.
This scheme of putting constants on the class means that only the available
features (eg security configurations) are made available as constants. It
also means that different network interfaces (eg WLAN vs LAN) can keep
their own specific constants within their class, such as PHY_xxx for LAN.

This commit implements a new <AbstractNIC>.ipconfig() function for the NIC
classes that use lwIP, to set and retrieve network configuration for a NIC.
Currently this method supports:
- ipconfig("addr4"): obtain a tuple (addr, netmask) of the currently
configured ipv4 address
- ipconfig("addr6"): obtain a list of tuples (addr, state,
prefered_lifetime, valid_lifetime) of all currently active ipv6
addresses; this includes static, slaac and link-local addresses
- ipconfig("has_dhcp4"): whether ipv4 dhcp has supplied an address
- ipconfig("has_autoconf6"): if there is a valid, non-static ipv6 address
- ipconfig(addr4="1.2.3.4/24"): to set the ipv4 address and netmask
- ipconfig(addr6="2a01::2"): to set a static ipv6 address; note that this
does not configure an interface route, as this does not seem supported by
lwIP
- ipconfig(autoconf6=True): to enable ipv6 network configuration with slaac
- ipconfig(gw4="1.2.3.1"): to set the ipv4 gateway
- ipconfig(dhcp4=True): enable ipv4 dhcp; this sets ipv4 address, netmask,
gateway and a dns server
- ipconfig(dhcp4=False): stops dhcp, releases the ip, and clears the
configured ipv4 address.
- ipconfig(dhcp6=True): enable stateless dhcpv6 to obtain a dns server
There is also a new global configuration function network.ipconfig() that
supports the following:
- network.ipconfig(dns="2a01::2"): set the primary dns server (can be a
ipv4 or ipv6 address)
- network.ipconfig(prefer=6): to prefer ipv6 addresses to be returned as
dns responses (falling back to ipv4 if the host does not have an ipv6
address); note that this does not flush the dns cache, so if a host is
already in the dns cache with its v4 address, subsequent lookups will
return that address even if prefer=6 is set
This interface replaces NIC.ifconfig() completely, and ifconfig() should be
marked as deprecated and removed in a future version.

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.
