performance: calling python from wasm is too slow

as mentioned in parent performance ticket
https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime-py/issues/96#issuecomment-1497336349

we have a bottleneck when python is called from inside wasm

here is a [minimum reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example)

unlike #96 which is to be solved by #139
the loop here lives inside wasm and the functions are in python, C (python's math) and wasm
this issue is not solved by #139

# experiment setup

```
(module
(func $log_i (import "env" "log_i") (param i32))
(func $math_gcd (import "env" "math_gcd") (param i32 i32) (result i32))
(func $python_gcd (import "env" "python_gcd") (param i32 i32) (result i32))
(func $gcd (export "gcd") (param i32 i32) (result i32)
;; ...
)
(func $wasm_gcd_loop (export "wasm_gcd_loop") (param $n i32) (param $a i32) (param $b i32) (result i32)
;; call wasm_gcd(a,b) n times
)
(func $math_gcd_loop (export "math_gcd_loop") (param $n i32) (param $a i32) (param $b i32) (result i32)
;; call math_gcd(a,b) n times
)
(func $python_gcd_loop (export "python_gcd_loop") (param $n i32) (param $a i32) (param $b i32) (result i32)
;; call python_gcd(a,b) n times
)
)
```

I've logged i and logged gcd to make sure loop is working fine using `log_i()`
I've removed the logging
I've imported C gcd from python's math package
I've imported python gcd

and did a loop inside wasm calling the 3 versions

```
print("*** wasm loop benchmark: ")
for name in "wasm_gcd_loop", "math_gcd_loop", "python_gcd_loop":
gcdf = by_name[name]
start_time = time.perf_counter()
g = gcdf(N, a, b)
total_time = time.perf_counter() - start_time
print(total_time, "\t\t", name)
```

# results

```
9.899199358187616e-05 wasm_gcd_loop
0.01052837198949419 math_gcd_loop
0.012672090000705793 python_gcd_loop
```

# conclusion

when wasm loop call's wasm function it was too fast, it was 100x faster than calling C's gcd
since C's gcd is faster than wasm gcd as shown in other benchmark, then this bottleneck is wrapping python part.

# profiling

here is how we profile calling C from wasm

```python
pr=Profile()
pr.enable()
print(math_gcd_loop(N, a, b))
pr.disable()
pr.print_stats()
pr.print_stats('cumulative')
pr.print_stats('calls')
```

using the production 7.0.0, the obvious bootleneck is in:

- `_func.py:172(trampoline)`
- `_value.py:129(_convert)`
