This includes making int("01") parse in base 10 like standard Python.
When a base of 0 is specified it means auto-detect based on the prefix, and
literals begining with 0 (except when the literal is all 0's) like "01" are
then invalid and now throw an exception.
The new error message is different from CPython. It says e.g.,
`SyntaxError: invalid syntax for integer with base 0: '09'`
Additional test cases were added to cover the changed & added code.

Previous to this patch, a big-int, float or imag constant was interned
(made into a qstr) and then parsed at runtime to create an object each
time it was needed. This is wasteful in RAM and not efficient. Now,
these constants are parsed straight away in the parser and turned into
objects. This allows constants with large numbers of digits (so
addresses issue #1103) and takes us a step closer to #722.
This is not fully correct re: error handling, because we should check that
that types are used consistently (only str's or only bytes), but magically
makes lot of functions support bytes.
