Revert the previous enhancement to the bytecode optimizer.

The additional code complexity and new NOP opcode were not worth it.

-- Added several bytecode optimizations.  Provides speed-ups to
-  inverted in/is tests, inverted jumps, while 1 loops, and jumps to
-  unconditional jumps.

-- Added a new opcode, NOP, which is used in some of the bytecode

 - int(s, base) sometimes sign-folds hex and oct constants; it only
   does this when base is 0 and s.strip() starts with a '0'.  When the
   sign is actually folded, as in int("0xffffffff", 0) on a 32-bit
