The `LOAD_GLOBAL` instruction (in Python/bytecodes.c) already has an adaptive

The `LOAD_GLOBAL_ADAPTIVE` instruction performs adaptive specialization,

Finally, take care that stats are gather correctly.
After the last `DEOPT_IF` has passed, a hit should be recorded with

After an optimization has been deferred in the adaptive instruction,
