Bug report

Bug description:

sys.settrace setsPY_MONITORING_EVENT_BRANCH andPY_MONITORING_EVENT_EXCEPTION_HANDLED monitoring events but does not have any registered callbacks. Those two events should not generate any legacy trace events (andsys.settrace works fine without it for a long time), so we should just remove those.

This improves trace performance a bit (~3% for fib + empty tracefunc) as the events do not fire anymore.
