[issue9545] Adding _collections to static build

[Senthil Kumaran]

New submission from Senthil Kumaran <orsenthil at gmail.com>:

As a fix for issue9396 in r83874, functools was included in re module and this caused a build failure.

This was reverted in r83875, with the following message by Raymond:

The problem is that the re module is imported by sysconfig
and re needs functools which uses collections.OrderedDict()
but the _collectionsmodule.c code is not yet constructed
at this point in the build.

The likely best solution will be to include _collections
as part of the static build before the rest of the
boot-strapping.

We discussed it in IRC, I am including the _collections module to the static build.

After this the r83874 can be reapplied.
