Sergei Lebedev f1435c7e6b Extract exception name via tp_name
This is faster than dynamically looking up __name__ via GetAttrString.
Note though that the runtime of the code throwing an error_already_set
will be dominated by stack unwinding so the improvement will not be
noticeable.

Before:

396 ns ± 0.913 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)

After:

277 ns ± 0.549 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)

Benchmark:

const std::string foo() {
    PyErr_SetString(PyExc_KeyError, "");
    const std::string &s = py::detail::error_string();
    PyErr_Clear();
    return s;
}

PYBIND11_MODULE(foo, m) {
    m.def("foo", &::foo);
}
