bpo-35588: Speed up mod, divmod and floordiv operations for Fraction type (#11322)
* bpo-35588: Implement mod and divmod operations for Fraction type by spelling out the numerator/denominator calculation, instead of instantiating and normalising Fractions along the way. This speeds up '%' and divmod() by 2-3x.
* bpo-35588: Also reimplement Fraction.__floordiv__() using integer operations to make it ~4x faster.
* Improve code formatting.

* bpo-35588: Fix return type of divmod(): the result of the integer division should be an integer.
* bpo-35588: Further specialise __mod__() and inline the original helper function _flat_divmod() since it's no longer reused.
* bpo-35588: Add some tests with large numerators and/or denominators.
* bpo-35588: Use builtin "divmod()" function for implementing __divmod__() in order to simplify the implementation, even though performance results are mixed.
* Rremove accidentally added empty line.
* bpo-35588: Try to provide more informative output on test failures.
* bpo-35588: Improve wording in News entry.
