Add shared translate implementation for bytes and bytearray

Refactor bytes.translate and bytearray.translate to use a shared
implementation in bytes_methods.c for the no-deletion fast path.

Changes:
- Add _Py_bytes_translate() in bytes_methods.c with an unrolled loop
  that enables compiler auto-vectorization
- Update bytes_translate_impl to use shared function
- Update bytearray_translate_impl to use shared function
- Declare shared function in pycore_bytes_methods.h

The unrolled 8-byte loop allows the compiler to auto-vectorize with
-O3 -march=native, providing ~3x speedup on large strings compared
to the original byte-by-byte implementation.

Note: Unlike str.translate (128-byte ASCII table), the 256-byte table
for bytes doesn't benefit from manual SIMD nibble-split lookup due to
the larger table size requiring more complex multi-pass strategies.
