[JVM] Keep correct REPR.name for native arrays

It turned out that f3dc977 doesn't really fix the usage of native arrays in the core setting. For some reason during the compilation of blib/CORE.d.setting.jar native array are deserialized twice.
The first time worked as expected, but since we did reset REPR.name ... (6 more lines)

[JVM] Use more generic name for new REPR field

This allows to use the new field for other REPRs than VMArrays as well, if the need arises.

Make .grep(Regex) and .first(Regex) about 40% faster

By not needing to create relative expensive .Match objects when only a Bool can do.
For historic reasons, Regex.ACCEPTS is *not* expected to return a Bool (contrary to all other .ACCEPTS methods) but a Match object. ... (7 more lines)

Tweak worker addition for many small tasks

Today we add additional workers to the thread pool based upon lack of progress. This works well when work items are relatively large, and so hold on to a worker for a while. For applications that schedule lots of small pieces of work that are well below the threshold at which the supervisor runs, however, some work is always completed, and so the ... (24 more lines)

Do the cursoring inside .grep / .first

Get rid of the implementation-detail method, do the raw cursoring in the .grep / .first logic directly for performance.
This now makes Joelle Maslak's[1] example about 25% faster without any changes to the code.
