Refactor `mk_gparams_register_modules()` so that it is usable externally via a new

function ``mk_gparams_register_modules_internal()`` which is called by a
new ``mk_gparams_register_modules_cpp.py`` script. This will allow other build systems to
generate the ``gparams_register_modules.cpp`` files.
