perf(runtime): give the relational operators the numeric fast path + and === already have

changelog.d/8395-relational-numeric-fastpath.md

+Give `js_rel_lt/gt/le/ge` the numeric early-out that `js_dynamic_add` already has. A relational comparison whose operands are not statically proven numeric opened a `RuntimeHandleScope`, rooted both operands and ran `ToPrimitive` on each before examining a tag — even for two plain doubles. Measured `interp` -7.0% and `iso_miss` -5.4%, with a 5.6x speedup on a `charCodeAt`-plus-comparison micro; non-numeric operands still take the unchanged `abstract_relational` path.

+/// Both operands already numeric (plain IEEE double or int32-tagged)?
