Wrapping/Python: remove import of the static module

Ben Boeckel requested to merge ben.boeckel/paraview:static-import-force into master

This was added in 8b3c13ec (Import the static Python module loader, add all, 2022-04-29) (via !5673 (merged)) to help out the .pyi generation in a static build ensure that the builtin modules are loaded so that the classes can be queried. However, this causes problems in static builds which link to ParaView itself and load the Python modules, notably in the Protobuf type registry calling abort() when duplicate message types are seen. This is because the tool which links to ParaView directly loads it and then when it loads up Python code (in this instance, via Catalyst 1's Python pipeline support), the Python static module is imported and causes a crash.

The .pyi generation now knows how to do this on its own and such support does not need to be done globally.

Requires !5941 (merged) to bring the assumed logic into master.
