[issue42693] "if 0:" lines are traced; they didn't use to be

[Serhiy Storchaka]

If the NOP is outside of the loop, then what is the reason of adding it? You cannot set a breakpoint on "while True:" which stops on every iteration.

The goal "tracing every line of code" is incompatible with code optimization. It would be better to add a special option to produce slower bytecode for tracing if you want to trace every line.
