lookdict_string manually split equivalent to shrink-wrapping

I realize that the shrink-wrapping implementation in GCC is preliminary and
conservative. I tested it on an example that presents a good opportunity for
shrink-wrapping and a large perforamnce improvement, but the current
implementation was not able to apply the optimization.

The attached file manually splits the CPython lookdict_string() into two
functions where most of the prologue can be avoided on the slow path.
