    Issue #26146: Add a new kind of AST node: ast.Constant. It can be used by
    external AST optimizers, but the compiler does not emit directly such node.
    
    An optimizer can replace the following AST nodes with ast.Constant:
    
    * ast.NameConstant: None, False, True
    * ast.Num: int, float, complex
    * ast.Str: str
    * ast.Bytes: bytes
    * ast.Tuple if items are constants too: tuple
    * frozenset
    
    Update code to accept ast.Constant instead of ast.Num and/or ast.Str:
    
    * compiler
    * docstrings
    * ast.literal_eval()
    * Tools/parser/unparse.py
