TracebackException saves both __cause__ and __context__ even though format() ignores the __context__ if there is __cause__.

If we change the constructor to save only what format() needs, it will save space and simplify the code.

As discussed on the PR: Since __context__ is documented, we can't just optimize it away. Instead we add a new param "compact", defaulted to False, which controls whether this optimization should be applied. 

Module level functions in traceback pass True since they don't access __context__ directly.
