Clean up "lltrace"

[brandtbucher]

We should get rid of the LLTRACE macro, and just use Py_DEBUG instead (they're both used interchangeably anyways).

Also, we can check PYTHON_LLTRACE once at startup, instead of doing it constantly all over the place.

Agreed. Long ago it started as a special option that you could enable (only in debug mode IIRC) to make debug mode even slower. But that has fallen by the wayside and I imagine that on modern CPUs the speed loss is minimal. So go ahead!
