gh-97670: Remove sys.getdxp() and analyze_dxp.py script (#97671)

Remove the sys.getdxp() function and the Tools/scripts/analyze_dxp.py
script. DXP stands for "dynamic execution pairs". They were related
to DYNAMIC_EXECUTION_PROFILE and DXPAIRS macros which have been
removed in Python 3.11. Python can now be built with "./configure
--enable-pystats" to gather statistics on Python opcodes.
