BUG-1485: optimize primitive range checks

When we are dealing with a primitive type, we can force unboxing of the
type by declaring the range checker method's argument as the primitive
type. This will result in the stack not containing references for the
fast path (e.g. successful check) as well as reduce the number of
virtual calls to one. Checks will then be performed using primitive
manipulation instructions, which should result in better fast-path
execution.

The slow path will take a hit, as for throwing the exception, we will
end up re-boxing the primitive type.
