[issue37837] add internal _PyLong_FromUnsignedChar() function

[Jeroen Demeyer]

Jeroen Demeyer <jeroen.k.demeyer at gmail.com> added the comment:

Maybe an even better idea would be to partially inline PyLong_FromLong(). If the check for small ints in PyLong_FromLong() would be inlined, then the compiler could optimize those checks. This would benefit all users of PyLong_FromLong() without code changes.
