bpo-40222: "Zero cost" exception handling (GH-25729)

"Zero cost" exception handling.

* Uses a lookup table to determine how to handle exceptions.
* Removes SETUP_FINALLY and POP_TOP block instructions, eliminating (most of) the runtime overhead of try statements.
* Reduces the size of the frame object by about 60%.
