[issue17861] put opcode information in one place

[Thomas Wouters]

Thomas Wouters added the comment:

Here's a minimal patch to at least make the current mechanism work when using a separate build directory.

I still don't like the fact that this is importing opcode.py in a different Python than the target Python. Nor do I like that the script hardcodes information about the opcodes (specifically, the first opcode to HAVE_ARGUMENT.) This feels like it's not actually better for maintenance than the previous solution.
