Damien George d96cfd13e3 py/obj: Add MICROPY_OBJ_IMMEDIATE_OBJS option to reduce code size. ...

This option (enabled by default for object representation A, B, C) makes
None/False/True objects immediate objects, ie they are no longer a concrete
object in ROM but are rather just values, eg None=0x6 for representation A.

Doing this saves a considerable amount of code size, due to these objects
being widely used:

   bare-arm:  -392 -0.591%
minimal x86:  -252 -0.170% [incl +52(data)]
   unix x64:  -624 -0.125% [incl -128(data)]
unix nanbox:    +0 +0.000%
      stm32: -1940 -0.510% PYBV10
     cc3200: -1216 -0.659%
    esp8266:  -404 -0.062% GENERIC
      esp32:  -732 -0.064% GENERIC[incl +48(data)]
        nrf:  -988 -0.675% pca10040
       samd:  -564 -0.556% ADAFRUIT_ITSYBITSY_M4_EXPRESS

Thanks go to @Jongy aka Yonatan Goldschmidt for the idea.
