This PR fixes several logic issues and removes code that was duplicated dozens of times.
Move _iast_instrument_starlette_url to _handlers

Since iast/_patch.py and iast/_patch_modules.py had overlapping responsibilities and it was unclear what each file was for, the functions that serve as the entry point for starting IAST have been moved to main.py.

The new class that handles all the logic for wrapping functions and modules now lives in patch_modules.

On one hand, we had the function try_wrap_function_wrapper defined twice — once for AppSec and once for IAST:

The AppSec version used ModuleWatchdog:

# ddtrace/appsec/_common_module_patches.py
def try_wrap_function_wrapper(module_name: str, name: str, wrapper: Callable) -> None:
    @ModuleWatchdog.after_module_imported(module_name)
    def _(module):
        try:
            wrap_object(module, name, FunctionWrapper, (wrapper,))
        except (ImportError, AttributeError):
            log.debug("ASM patching. Module %s.%s does not exist", module_name, name)

Whereas the IAST version used wrapt directly:

# ddtrace/appsec/_iast/_patch.py
def try_wrap_function_wrapper(module: Text, name: Text, wrapper: Callable):
    try:
        wrap_object(module, name, FunctionWrapper, (wrapper,))
    except (ImportError, AttributeError):
        iast_instrumentation_wrapt_debug_log(f"Module {module}.{name} not exists")

Additionally, the IAST version was sometimes called like this:

try_wrap_function_wrapper(("_%s" % MD5_DEF), "MD5Type.digest", wrapped_md5_function)

And other times using wrapt.when_imported:

@when_imported("django.shortcuts")
def _(m):
    try_wrap_function_wrapper(m, "redirect", _unvalidated_redirect_for_django)

These two patterns were repeated dozens of times, and now all of this logic has been centralized in the class ddtrace.appsec._iast._patch_modules.WrapModulesForIAST.

Task: APPSEC-58037

This PR fixes several logic issues and removes code that was duplicated
dozens of times.
Move _iast_instrument_starlette_url to _handlers

Since `iast/_patch.py` and `iast/_patch_modules.py` had overlapping
responsibilities and it was unclear what each file was for, the
functions that serve as the entry point for starting IAST have been
moved to main.py.

The new class that handles all the logic for wrapping functions and
modules now lives in patch_modules.

On one hand, we had the function `try_wrap_function_wrapper` defined
twice — once for AppSec and once for IAST:

The **AppSec** version used `ModuleWatchdog`:

```python
# ddtrace/appsec/_common_module_patches.py
def try_wrap_function_wrapper(module_name: str, name: str, wrapper: Callable) -> None:
    @ModuleWatchdog.after_module_imported(module_name)
    def _(module):
        try:
            wrap_object(module, name, FunctionWrapper, (wrapper,))
        except (ImportError, AttributeError):
            log.debug("ASM patching. Module %s.%s does not exist", module_name, name)
```

Whereas the **IAST** version used `wrapt` directly:

```python
# ddtrace/appsec/_iast/_patch.py
def try_wrap_function_wrapper(module: Text, name: Text, wrapper: Callable):
    try:
        wrap_object(module, name, FunctionWrapper, (wrapper,))
    except (ImportError, AttributeError):
        iast_instrumentation_wrapt_debug_log(f"Module {module}.{name} not exists")
```

Additionally, the IAST version was sometimes called like this:

```python
try_wrap_function_wrapper(("_%s" % MD5_DEF), "MD5Type.digest", wrapped_md5_function)
```

And other times using `wrapt.when_imported`:

```python
@when_imported("django.shortcuts")
def _(m):
    try_wrap_function_wrapper(m, "redirect", _unvalidated_redirect_for_django)
```

These two patterns were repeated dozens of times, and now all of this
logic has been centralized in the class
`ddtrace.appsec._iast._patch_modules.WrapModulesForIAST`.
