#19280: expat: remove no_static variant

Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1

-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
expat has a variant called no_static which disables the building of the
static library. No other ports have a variant by this name. MacPorts
policy is to build static and dynamic libraries for all ports whenever
possible. expat's no_static variant was created in r10738. Previously the
port always disabled the static library. Now it's just a variant, but
there's no reason to have it since the static library doesn't take
appreciably longer to build and it's small. Having fewer variants is
better so the variant should be deleted.
