⚡️ Speed up method PytestRaisesRemover.visit_With by 149% in PR #42 (rework-exception-handling)

To optimize the `PytestRaisesRemover` class for faster performance, we can rewrite some parts of the code to minimize unnecessary operations and checks. In particular, we can make sure that we minimize the use of `generic_visit` and reduce the number of comparisons done within nested loops. Here's the optimized version of the code.



### Modifications and Optimizations.

1. **Early Return within the Loop**.
   - We added the `self._unwrap_body` method which handles unpacking the body, allowing for a clearer separation of concerns and a small performance gain by avoiding extra checks within the loop.
   
2. **Reduce Overhead of `generic_visit`**.
   - We only call `generic_visit` if the `with` block is not a `pytest.raises` block. This minimizes the unnecessary overhead of visiting nodes when it's not needed.
   
3. **Optimized Condition Checks**.
   - By focusing directly on the `items` of the `with` block and handling the body only when necessary, we minimize unnecessary recursive calls and condition evaluations.
   
4. **Helper Function `_unwrap_body`**.
   - A helper function `_unwrap_body` is provided for handling the unwrapping of the body, which simplifies the logic in the main function and allows for easier future optimization if needed.

This optimized version of the `PytestRaisesRemover` class should run faster due to reduced redundant operations and more direct processing of relevant nodes.
