Optimize bytes.fromhex() and bytearray.fromhex()

Issue #25401: Optimize bytes.fromhex() and bytearray.fromhex(): they are now
between 2x and 3.5x faster. Changes:

* Use a fast-path working on a char* string for ASCII string
* Use a slow-path for non-ASCII string
* Replace slow hex_digit_to_int() function with a O(1) lookup in
  _PyLong_DigitValue precomputed table
* Use _PyBytesWriter API to handle the buffer
* Add unit tests to check the error position in error messages
