[issue32892] Remove specific constant AST types in favor of ast.Constant

I'm in favor of this idea for prospective extensions that could be implemented through this brand-new ast.Constant.  

Actually I used to expect a more general ast.Constant when I was manipulating ASTs half a year ago, at that time my job is to make staging functions that take some user-defined types as constants(in these scenes, these types are definitely immutable and permanent) to gain performance improvements and avoid redundant allocations, and what I exactly wanted is such an ast.Constant.
