py: Do adjacent str/bytes literal concatenation in lexer, not compiler.

It's much more efficient in RAM and code size to do implicit literal string
concatenation in the lexer, as opposed to the compiler.

RAM usage is reduced because the concatenation can be done right away in the
tokeniser by just accumulating the string/bytes literals into the lexer's
vstr.  Prior to this patch adjacent strings/bytes would create a parse tree
(one node per string/bytes) and then in the compiler a whole new chunk of
memory was allocated to store the concatenated string, which used more than
double the memory compared to just accumulating in the lexer.

This patch also significantly reduces code size:
