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
