Give meaning to the oparg for BUILD_MAP: estimated size of the dictionary.
Allows dictionaries to be pre-sized (upto 255 elements) saving time lost to re-sizes with their attendant mallocs and re-insertions. Has zero effect on small dictionaries (5 elements or fewer), a slight benefit for dicts upto 22 elements (because they had to resize once anyway), and more benefit for dicts upto 255 elements (saving multiple resizes during the build-up and reducing the number of collisions on the first insertions). Beyond 255 elements, there is no addional benefit.
