optimize numeric operators in JS

See original GitHub issue

A part of #5812 that wasn’t explicitly stated in the issue description, but that @chochos and I had talked about, was optimization of the numeric operators +, -, *, /. Currently they still compile down to the relatively expensive method calls plus(), times(), etc.

Note that we can probably only do this when the static type of both operands is exactly Integer or Float. (Not sure about Byte.)

This is now done, native operators are used wherever reasonable, and there is no boxing of Floats within operator expressions. Finally!

I’ve spent most of today working on this issue, and the situation is now much better.
