Fix an issue that caused extended opcode arguments and some conditional pops
to be ignored when calculating valid jump targets for assignments to the
``f_lineno`` attribute of frame objects. In some cases, this could cause
inconsistent internal state, resulting in a hard crash of the interpreter.

Replace all ``EXTENDED_ARG_QUICK`` instructions with basic
:opcode:`EXTENDED_ARG` instructions in unquickened code. Consumers of
non-adaptive bytecode should be able to handle extended arguments the same
way they were handled in CPython 3.10 and older.

Python again uses C-style casts for most casting operations when compiled

``-Wold-style-cast `` or ``-Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant`` options for
``g++``.
