RFR: Always copy forward for disjoint arrays

For disjoint array copying, it can only copy forward, due to checkcast.
For example:
a[]: array of Integer
b[]: array of Object, but b[0] contains Integer object, and the rest of
elements are not Integers.
when copy b => a, it expects b[0] is copied to a[0], but aborts
afterward, due to incompatible type.
If copying backward, none of them are copied.
