[issue6713] Integer & Long types: Performance improvement of 1.6x to 2x for base 10 conversions

Applied long_decimal_conversion_py3k_2.patch in r74851;  backported to 
trunk in r74853.

Still to do:
 - look at the 'two-digits-at-a-time' optimization.
 - rip out the non-binary-base code from _PyLong_Format

While we're at it, it would also be good to look at the decimal string -> 
integer conversion,  but I think that's a separate issue.
