py: Adjust object repr C (30-bit stuffed float) to reduce code size.

This patch adds/subtracts a constant from the 30-bit float representation
so that str/qstr representations are favoured: they now have all the high
bits set to zero.  This makes encoding/decoding qstr strings more
efficient (and they are used more often than floats, which are now
slightly less efficient to encode/decode).

Saves about 300 bytes of code space on Thumb 2 arch.
