* Reject uop definitions that declare values as 'unused' that are already cached by prior uops
* Track which variables are defined and only load from memory when needed
* Support explicit `flush` in macro definitions.
* Make sure stack is flushed in where needed.
This PR sets up tagged pointers for CPython.
The general idea is to create a separate struct _PyStackRef for everything on the evaluation stack to store the bits. This forces the C compiler to warn us if we try to cast things or pull things out of the struct directly.
Only for free threading: We tag the low bit if something is deferred - that means we skip incref and decref operations on it. This behavior may change in the future if Mark's plans to defer all objects in the interpreter loop pans out.
This implies a strict stack reference discipline is required. ALL incref and decref operations on stackrefs must use the stackref variants. It is unsafe to untag something then do normal incref/decref ops on it.
The new incref and decref variants are called dup and close. They mimic a "handle" API operating on these stackrefs.

The code for Tier 2 is now only compiled when configured
with `--enable-experimental-jit[=yes|interpreter]`.
We drop support for `PYTHON_UOPS` and -`Xuops`,
but you can disable the interpreter or JIT
at runtime by setting `PYTHON_JIT=0`.
You can also build it without enabling it by default
using `--enable-experimental-jit=yes-off`;
enable with `PYTHON_JIT=1`.
On Windows, the `build.bat` script supports
`--experimental-jit`, `--experimental-jit-off`,
`--experimental-interpreter`.
In the C code, `_Py_JIT` is defined as before
when the JIT is enabled; the new variable
`_Py_TIER2` is defined when the JIT *or* the
interpreter is enabled. It is actually a bitmask:
1: JIT; 2: default-off; 4: interpreter.
This changes the `sym_set_...()` functions to return a `bool` which is `false`
when the symbol is `bottom` after the operation.
All calls to such functions now check this result and go to `hit_bottom`,
a special error label that prints a different message and then reports
that it wasn't able to optimize the trace. No executor will be produced
in this case.
* Rename _Py_UOpsAbstractInterpContext to _Py_UOpsContext and _Py_UOpsSymType to _Py_UopsSymbol.
* #define shortened form of _Py_uop_... names for improved readability.
This makes the Tier 2 interpreter a little faster.
I calculated by about 3%,
though I hesitate to claim an exact number.
This starts by doubling the trace size limit (to 512),
making it more likely that loops fit in a trace.
The rest of the approach is to only load
`oparg` and `operand` in cases that use them.
The code generator know when these are used.
For `oparg`, it will conditionally emit
```
oparg = CURRENT_OPARG();
```
at the top of the case block.
(The `oparg` variable may be referenced multiple times
by the instructions code block, so it must be in a variable.)
For `operand`, it will use `CURRENT_OPERAND()` directly
instead of referencing the `operand` variable,
which no longer exists.
(There is only one place where this will be used.)
- Ensure that `assert(type_version != 0);` always comes *before* using `type_version`
Also:
- In cases_generator, rename `-v` to from `--verbose` to `--viable`
