[issue46608] Exclude marshalled-frozen data if deep-freezing to save 300 KB space

[Kumar Aditya]

New submission from Kumar Aditya <rahuladitya303 at gmail.com>:

This reduces the size of the data segment by 300 KB of the executable because if the modules are deep-frozen then the marshalled frozen data just wastes space. This was inspired by comment by @gvanrossum in #29118 (comment). Note: There is a new option `--deepfreeze-only` in freeze_modules.py to change this behavior, it is on be default to save disk space.

# du -s ./python before
27892   ./python
# du -s ./python after
27524   ./python
