bpo-45548: Some test modules must be built as shared libs (GH-29268)
Some test cases don't work when test modules are static extensions. Add dependency on Modules/config.c to trigger a rebuild whenever a module build type is changed. ``makesetup`` puts shared extensions into ``Modules/`` directory. Create symlinks from pybuilddir so the extensions can be imported. Note: It is not possible to use the content of pybuilddir.txt as a build target. Makefile evaluates target variables in the first pass. The pybuilddir.txt file does not exist at that point.

+* ``Modules/Setup`` and ``Modules/makesetup`` have been improved and tied up.
+ Extension modules can now be built through ``makesetup``. All except some
+ test modules can be linked statically into main binary or library.
