[issue25823] Speed-up oparg decoding on little-endian machines

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

"I there are no objections I'm inclined to push the patch in hope that this will make the Wordcode patch (issue26647) simpler and more efficient (yes, this will add more work for Demur for synchronization)."

I would prefer to be kind with Demur and wait until his patch is merged (to not introduce conflicts). Wordcode change is quite big, whereas this one is short. Raymond already approved his patch on the python-dev mailing list, I waiting for the feedback of Yury and Serhiy until Sunday to push the wordcode change.

IMHO it will be simpler to optimize the (oparg, opvalue) fetch in ceval.c after wordcode will be merged.

What do you think?
