Kumar Aditya bf95ff91f2 bpo-46608: exclude marshalled-frozen data if deep-freezing to save 300 KB space (GH-31074) ...

This reduces the size of the data segment by **300 KB** of the executable because if the modules are deep-frozen then the marshalled frozen data just wastes space. This was inspired by comment by @gvanrossum in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/29118#issuecomment-958521863. Note: There is a new option `--deepfreeze-only` in `freeze_modules.py` to change this behavior, it is on be default to save disk space.
```console 
# du -s ./python before

# du -s ./python after
27524   ./python
