Performance: leverage dict comprehension in PEP-0274

PEP-0274 introduced dict comprehensions to replace dict constructor
with a sequence of length-2 sequences, these are benefits copied
from [1]:
  The dictionary constructor approach has two distinct disadvantages
  from the proposed syntax though.  First, it isn't as legible as a
  dict comprehension.  Second, it forces the programmer to create an
  in-core list object first, which could be expensive.
Nova dropped python 2.6 support, we can leverage this now.
There is deep dive about PEP-0274[2] and basic tests about
performance[3].
Note: This commit doesn't handle dict constructor with kwagrs.
This commit also adds a hacking rule.
