[issue33521] Add 1.32x faster C implementation of asyncio.isfuture().

[Jimmy Lai]

Jimmy Lai <yurinai at gmail.com> added the comment:

@pitrou This change is part of optimization for asyncio.gather().
gather -> ensure_future -> isfuture/iscoroutine/isawaitable

We need C implementation for all those function to make gather really efficient for large scale application (e.g. Instagram)
Gather is really slow and cost ~2% CPU on our server.

The same optimization approach has been apply on other ciritcal asyncio modules, e.g. Future, get_event_loop, etc.
