[issue14381] Intern certain integral floats for memory savings and performance

FWIW, I'm -1 on making the change.  Any memory savings would be microscopic for most Python programs.  And anything that slows down float creation (even a teeny bit) is detrimental to all Python programs.  We're better off not adding special case logic unless there is a clear benefit (there isn't).
