New devdocs page (doc/rst/source/devdocs/custom_supplements.rst) explaining the in-tree vs out-of-tree supplement build mechanism: the five-symbol GMT_MODULEINFO contract, how src/CMakeLists.txt auto-generates the glue and moduleinfo header for in-tree supps (windbarbs as reference), and what an out-of-tree project must vendor to reproduce the same wiring. This work was applied into (re)building the MB-system modules lib such that they show up when doing 'gmt --show-modules' and some more worked test examples let be called from Julia and exchange memory data (like the whole GMT).

We have old documentation on this in other repositories but I frankly find it impossible to understand.
