ENH: Generate the docstrings of umath into a separated C header

  To allow access to the docstring of ufunc via
  identifier #DOC_PLACE_OF_UFUNC, e.g. DOC_NUMPY_CORE_UMATH_ABSOLUTE.

  This patch is part of a series of steps aimed at replacing template sources
  and the umath python generator with C++ meta-programming.
