I forked web3.py and compiled it to C. It does the same stuff, now faster

This fork will be kept up-to-date with web3.py. I will pull updates as they are released and push new faster-web3.py releases to PyPI.

We (kinda) benchmark faster-web3.py against the original web3.py for your convenience. See results. More benchmarks will be LLM'd into existence soon enough.

You can find the compiled C code and header files in the build directory.
