For gpython to switch builtin str/unicode to bstr/ustr we will need
bstr/ustr to have exactly the same C layout as builtin string types.
This is possible to achieve only via `cdef class`. It is also good to
switch to `cdef class` for RAM savings - from https://github.com/cython/cython/pull/5212#issuecomment-1387659026 :

    # what Cython does at runtime for `class MyBytes(bytes)`
    In [3]: MyBytes = type('MyBytes', (bytes,), {'__slots__': ()})

    In [4]: MyBytes
    Out[4]: __main__.MyBytes

    In [5]: a = bytes(b'123')

    In [6]: b = MyBytes(b'123')

    In [7]: a
    Out[7]: b'123'

    In [8]: b
    Out[8]: b'123'

    In [9]: a == b
    Out[9]: True

    In [10]: import sys

    In [11]: sys.getsizeof(a)
    Out[11]: 36

    In [12]: sys.getsizeof(b)
    Out[12]: 52

So with `cdef class` we gain more control and optimize memory usage.

This was not done before because cython forbids to `cdef class X(bytes)` due to
https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/711. We work it around in setup.py with
draft for proper patch pre-posted to upstream in https://github.com/cython/cython/pull/5212 .
