Use fix-sized primops for fixed size boxed types
Progress towards #19026 (closed), fixes #19931 (closed)
Now that we have the 32-bit primpos (from !4698 (closed) which is contained), we can do this for all over the 8-, 16-, and 32-bit boxed types. This will shrink and declutter the core.
Unfortunately I've been getting a GHC panic. But it went away with Devel2
, so I'm back to fixing obvious issues.
