These preparatory steps here are very similar to the legacy wrapper below. Would it make sense to factor them out in a helper?

Refactored some of the shared code. I didn't share everything, since I'm planning further changes that may only be relevant for new-style wrapper functions.

Allocate a vectorcall function pointer as a struct field for native classes that include `__call__`, including nested functions. This lets us use METH_FASTCALL wrapper functions with `__call__` methods. See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0590/ for details of why we jump through these hoops. This makes the `nested_func` microbenchmark about 1.5x faster. Follow-up to #9894.

Implement faster argument parsing based on METH_FASTCALL on supported
Python versions.
Use
vgetargskeywordsfastextracted from Python 3.9 with some modifications:*argsand**kwargsThe modifications are very similar to what we have in the old-style
argument parsing logic.
The legacy calling convention is still used for
__init__and__call__. I'll add__call__support in a separate PR. I haven't looked into supporting__init__yet.
Here are some benchmark results (on Python 3.8)
However, the above benchmarks are still slower when compiled. I'll continue
working on further improvements after this PR.
Fixes mypyc/mypyc#578.
