Bug report: JavaScript arrays are not coerced into Java arrays when calling Java functions that expect arrays

[Tal Liron]

I hope someone can help me get my contribution in soon! The project is 
moving quickly... an hg pull last night broke my fix, but I re-fixed and 
improved it. The sooner it can be integrated, the better.

Now only two files need to be changed: JavaArgumentConverters and 
NashornPrimitiveLinker. I've also added all the primitive array types 
and improved the logic a bit.
