memoryview is heavy object. Using memoryview instead of bytes object
will increase memory usage.
I think lightweight bytes-like object is better. My rough idea is:
* New code and pyc format
* pyc has "rodata" segment
* It can be copied into single memory block, or can be mmapped.
* co_code should be aligned at least 2 bytes.
* code.co_code can point to memory block in "rodata".
* docstring, signature, and lnotab can be lazy load from "rodata".
* signature is serialized in JSON like format.
* Allow multiple modules in single file
* Reduce fileno when using mmap
* Merge more constants
* New Python object: PyROData.
* It is like read-only bytearray.
* But body may be mmap-ped, instead of malloc-ed
* code objects owns reference of PyROData.
* When PyROData is deallocated, it munmap or free "rodata" segment.
