Since `const_refs_to_static` has been stable as of the MSRV bump, a
`ThisModule` pointer can now be used in const contexts.
Add a `THIS_MODULE` const to the `ModuleMetadata` trait so that modules
can provide their `ThisModule` pointer in const contexts such as static
`file_operations`.
Add a `this_module()` helper to retrieve the `THIS_MODULE` pointer of a
given module type, and update `__init` to use it instead of the
`THIS_MODULE` static generated by the `module!` macro.
The `static THIS_MODULE` generated by the `module!` macro is retained
for backwards compatibility with existing users and removed in a later
patch once all references have been migrated.
