(closes #3135) Fix cyclic dependencies by replacing Scalartype import-time instantiations

[sergisiso]

I hit #3135 again where some cyclic dependencies cannot be prevented by adding the import inside methods because they happen when symbols are initialised at import-time. To remove this import time instantiations I opted for creating ScalarType staticmethods instead of the factory proposed in the issue. The change itself is small, but it is repeated many many times.

@LonelyCat124 @arporter This is ready for review

[LonelyCat124]

@sergisiso I struggled to look through every single change (my browser is dying looking at the diffs...) but I found some minor issues to check with imports in examples and docs - can you check these? Then I can probably merge.

@LonelyCat124 This is ready for another review.

[LonelyCat124]

Set ITs running as a sanity check but otherwise all is good.

[sergisiso]

@LonelyCat124 the integration test spotted a INTEGER_TYPE in lfric_apps. I will push a fix now

[sergisiso]

@LonelyCat124 This is passing all integration test now, my lfric change from yesterday failed with signal 11, but after rerunning the action it has succeeded.

[sergisiso]

@LonelyCat124 This has finally passed all tests. I had to do it with multiple lfric_apps hash update attempts as I had no access to the system to test it directly.

[LonelyCat124]

Ok, now ITs pass I'll proceed to merge.
