Simplify and speed up interpreter for f-strings.

tldr; Do work in the compiler instead of the interpreter.

Splits the FORMAT_VALUE opcode into CONVERT_VALUE, FORMAT_SIMPLE and FORMAT_WITH_SPEC.
The compiler can then emit the optimal sequence for each format expression.

The three new opcodes are much simpler than the one they replace, actually removing a few lines of code from the interpreter.

The CONVERT_VALUE is emitted only if a conversion is present.
In the standard library only (approx) 20% of f-strings include a conversion.

FORMAT_WITH_SPEC is emitted if a format specifier is present.
Otherwise FORMAT_SIMPLE is emitted.
In the standard library about 70% of format expressions can be formatted with just the simple (and fast)
FORMAT_SIMPLE opcode.

Any update on this @taleinat suggested sharing benchmarks here https://bugs.python.org/issue33092.

Otherwise due to lack of activity I think we can close this.

Updated to use the new bytecode definition format.

Removes the conditional stack effect, simplifying tooling around these instructions.

since oparg 0 isn't a thing (right?), maybe write this as:

Suggested change
argval = (None, str, repr, ascii)[arg]
argrepr = ('', 'str', 'repr', 'ascii')[arg]
argval = (_, str, repr, ascii)[arg]
argrepr = (_, 'str', 'repr', 'ascii')[arg]

What is _? We might not use the 0th item, but it still needs to be defined.

IIUC _ is the convention for ‘unused value’.

For lvalues, sure, but this is an rvalue.
