Optimize is_awaitable with fast-path for common types
Add a fast-path check for common non-awaitable types (str, int, float, bool, dict, list, tuple, None, bytes, set, frozenset) before running the more expensive isinstance and hasattr checks. Benchmarks show 1.63x speedup for is_awaitable on common values. Since is_awaitable was ~14% of async execution time, this improves the async execution path performance. Also temporarily exclude execute.py from mypyc build due to a mypyc code generation bug with nested async closures.
