[issue46361] Small ints aren't always cached properly

And there are some similar things going on in rangeobject.c.

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/1de60155d5d01be2924e72fb68dd13d4fd00acd7/Objects/rangeobject.c#L598

        if (r->step == _PyLong_GetOne()) {
            return idx;
        }

Again, technically "okay", since it's only a fast path and the slow path that follows will still do the right thing with a 1 that's not "the" 1, but it feels fragile.
