This adds casts for the def type to all standard boxed types. Prior to this certain casts such as
def [long/Long] -> Double
would fail which does not follow the goals of the Painless casting model to remove the need for explicit boxing. This also creates symmetry with the casts for the newly created bridge methods being called at run-time.
