[issue43563] Use dedicated opcodes to speed up calls/attribute lookups with super() as receiver

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

This looks like a sensible idea to me. The safeguards to ensure that customized 'super' still works seem reasonable to me. I have to admit that I sometimes refrain from using super() where I should because of the expense, so this would be welcome.

I do wonder -- is two-arg super() important enough to support it at all? Maybe the code would be somewhat simpler if the special opcodes were only generated for zero-arg super() calls.
