We can measure which opcodes do this most frequently with bpftrace. This lets us see, for example, that we should probably implement a handler for LOAD_ATTR_INSTANCE_SLOT_DESCR (included in this PR).

UNPACK_SEQUENCE looks like an easy enough next target if we specialize for list/tuple.

In debug(opt) mode, register a bpftrace event that fires when the
assembly interpreter switches to the C++ interpreter. This also includes
opcodes that have no assembly implementation (and therefore always
switch to C++).
For richards.py this occurs 25330 times, according to the bpftrace
script. It is not the hottest, but it is easy to implement.

This brings it down from 19727 to 4101 transitions from asm to C++.
