Don't allow unsafe statics outside of extern blocks

This PR fixes a regression where we allowed `unsafe static` items in top-level modules (i.e. outside of `unsafe extern` blocks).

It's harder IMO to integrate this into the `check_item_safety` function, so I opted to just put this check on the `static` item itself.

Beta version of this lives at rust-lang#127944.
