bpo-44590: Lazily allocate frame objects (GH-27077)
* Convert "specials" array to InterpreterFrame struct, adding f_lasti, f_state and other non-debug FrameObject fields to it. * Refactor, calls pushing the call to the interpreter upward toward _PyEval_Vector. * Compute f_back when on thread stack, only filling in value when frame object outlives stack invocation. * Move ownership of InterpreterFrame in generator from frame object to generator object. * Do not create frame objects for Python calls. * Do not create frame objects for generators.

+All necessary data for executing a Python function (local variables, stack,
+etc) is now kept in a per-thread stack. Frame objects are lazily allocated
+on demand. This increases performance by about 7% on the standard benchmark
+suite. Introspection and debugging are unaffected as frame objects are
+always available when needed. Patch by Mark Shannon.
