New submission from Ken Jin <kenjin4...@gmail.com>:

LOAD_METHOD + CALL_METHOD currently doesn't work for Python @classmethod and C 
classmethod (METH_CLASS). They still create bound classmethods which are fairly 
expensive.

I propose supporting classmethods. I have an implementation for C classmethods. 
It passes most of the test suite, and I've also got it to play along with PEP 
659 specialization.

Some numbers from Windows release build (PGO build will likely be less 
favorable):

python.exe -m timeit "int.from_bytes(b'')"
Main:
2000000 loops, best of 5: 107 nsec per loop
Patched:
5000000 loops, best of 5: 72.4 nsec per loop

Funnily enough, `(1).from_bytes()` still needs a bound classmethod, but I think 
people usually use the other form.

A toy PR will be up for review. I will then split the change into two parts 
(one for _PyObject_GetMethod changes, another for PEP 659 specialization) to 
help decide if the maintenance-perf ratio is worth it.
