Optimize exception pickle sizes when timestamps are disabled

When traceback timestamps are disabled, exception pickles no longer
include an empty state dictionary, reducing pickle size to match
Python 3.13 baseline. When timestamps are enabled, the state dict
is included with timestamp data.

- BaseException: Only include dict when timestamp > 0 or custom attributes exist
- OSError: Apply same optimization while preserving filename attributes
- ImportError: Conditionally include state based on meaningful attributes
- AttributeError: Always include state dict for Python 3.13 compatibility

Results:
- ValueError/RuntimeError: 53 bytes (disabled) -> 103 bytes (enabled)
- OSError: 56 bytes (disabled) -> 106 bytes (enabled)
- AttributeError: 76 bytes (disabled) -> 120 bytes (enabled)
