Turns out that, at least in CPython, declaring classes inside functions is quite slow.

Running x = Range[50000]; First[Timing[Position[x, 10000]]] without this PR gives 1.16326, with this PR, it gives 0.461211. This is only due to one inner class definition.

Running the profiler, one actually sees Python's class build function popping up. So this PR moves inner classes out of functions at several places.

Looks good. I'm not sure about is_free though.

return True
else:
return expr.head.is_free(form, evaluation) and all(
leaf.is_free(form, evaluation) for leaf in expr.leaves)

I forgot to hook this up. It's done now. I needed to move this function into patterns.py as the declaration of _StopGeneratorBaseExpressionIsFree needs StopGenerator which cannot be imported into core.expression.py as patterns.py depends on core.expression.py.
