Summary: special case "O" in PyArg_ParseTuple()

Initial Comment:
The most common argument passed to PyArg_ParseTuple() 
is one or more Os. Special-case Os to make this go a
bit faster.

Also eliminate the convertsimple(), convertsimple1()
two-step, since it's adding an extra function call to
all cases to handle the error cases.  Instead, call the
extra function only when an error occurs.

Note that the indentation in this patch is a bit messy.

The speedup is modest.  On the parsetuple-intensive
benchmarks like pybench's BuiltinFunctionCalls, this
patch reduces the cost of PyArg_ParseTuple() by almost
40%.
