Removes a further layer of indirection for calling Python functions, by replacing _PyEval_EvalCodeWithName() which took a large an incoherent set of parameters with _PyEval_Vector() which takes fewer than half the parameters, and is more efficient in the common case of calling a function.

Skipping NEWS as this should have no visible effect on API or performance, nor does it fix any bugs. It just makes our life easier in the future.

(Isn't news also used to alert developers of structural changes to the interpreter?)

There's no API changes, so I assumed not.
No harm in adding one though.

* Further refactoring of PyEval_EvalCode and friends. Break into make-frame, and eval-frame parts.

* Simplify function vector call using new _PyEval_Vector.

* Remove unused internal functions: _PyEval_EvalCodeWithName and _PyEval_EvalCode.

* Don't use legacy function PyEval_EvalCodeEx.
