<i18n dev> RFR: 8269665: Clean-up toString() methods of some primitive wrappers

[Сергей Цыпанов]

As of JDK 17 some of primitive wrappers, e.g. `Long`, `Integer`, `Double` and `Float` in their implementations of `Object.toString()` delegate to own utility `toString(primitive)` methods.

Unlike those, `Boolean`, `Byte`, `Character` and `Short` just duplicate the contents of utility methods in implementations of `Object.toString()`.

Yet another issue is a tiny discrepancy in implementation related to `Byte` and `Short` (see the first):

public static String toString(byte b) {
    return Integer.toString((int)b, 10);
}

public String toString() {
    return Integer.toString((int)value);
}

Unlike in overriden method, In utility one they explicitly specify radix which can be skipped, as implementation of `Integer.toString(int,int)` has a fast-path for radix 10, ending in `Integer.toString(int)`. This simplification gives tiny improvement, see benchmark:

@BenchmarkMode(Mode.AverageTime)
@OutputTimeUnit(TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS)
@Fork(jvmArgsAppend = {"-Xms2g", "-Xmx2g"})
public class ByteToStringBenchmark {
    @Benchmark
    public String byteToString() {
        return Byte.toString((byte) 1);
    }
}
