py/vm: Add a fast path for LOAD_ATTR on instance types.
When the LOAD_ATTR opcode is executed there are quite a few different cases that have to be handled, but the common case is accessing a member on an instance type. Typically, built-in types provide methods which is why this is common. Fortunately, for this specific case, if the member is found in the member map then there's no further processing. This optimisation does a relatively cheap check (type is instance) and then forwards directly to the member map lookup, falling back to the regular path if necessary.
