Optimize typedarray casting (#5037)

# Walkthrough: TypedArray Optimization via Direct Casting

This optimization improves the performance of creating a
[TypedArray](file:///home/mayank/boa/core/engine/src/builtins/typed_array/mod.rs#40-44)
from another
[TypedArray](file:///home/mayank/boa/core/engine/src/builtins/typed_array/mod.rs#40-44)
of the same `ContentType`. By implementing a direct
[cast](file:///home/mayank/boa/core/engine/src/builtins/typed_array/mod.rs#580-732)
method on `TypedArrayElement`, we avoid unnecessary conversions to and
from `JsValue`.

## Changes Made

### [Core Engine]

####
[mod.rs](file:///home/mayank/boa/core/engine/src/builtins/typed_array/mod.rs)

- Implemented `TypedArrayElement::cast(self, target: TypedArrayKind) ->
Self`.
- This method handles direct numeric casting and clamping (for
[Uint8Clamped](file:///home/mayank/boa/core/engine/src/builtins/typed_array/mod.rs#245-246))
between all non-BigInt and BigInt types respectively.
- It panics if attempting to cast between different content types
(BigInt vs Number), which is consistent with the ECMAScript
specification requirements in
[initialize_from_typed_array](file:///home/mayank/boa/core/engine/src/builtins/typed_array/builtin.rs#2858-3008).

####
[builtin.rs](file:///home/mayank/boa/core/engine/src/builtins/typed_array/builtin.rs)

- Updated
[initialize_from_typed_array](file:///home/mayank/boa/core/engine/src/builtins/typed_array/builtin.rs#2858-3008)
to use `value.cast(element_type)` instead of converting through
`JsValue`.
- Removed the `TODO` comment: "TODO: cast between types instead of
converting to `JsValue`."

## Verification Results

### Automated Tests
Successfully ran the existing
[TypedArray](file:///home/mayank/boa/core/engine/src/builtins/typed_array/mod.rs#40-44)
tests in `boa_engine`:
```bash
cargo test --package boa_engine --lib builtins::typed_array::tests
```

**Results:**
```
running 12 tests
test builtins::typed_array::tests::float32_precision_behavior ... ok
test builtins::typed_array::tests::float32array_nan_behavior ... ok
test builtins::typed_array::tests::float32array_storage ... ok

test builtins::typed_array::tests::uint8array_out_of_bounds_behavior ... ok
test builtins::typed_array::tests::uint8array_read_write_semantics ... ok

test result: ok. 12 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 968 filtered out; finished in 0.09s
```

All relevant tests passed, ensuring no regressions in typed array
constructor behavior or standard operations.
