 move *all* the operator functions out of the vtable and into the MMD

 This *all* includes vtable functions like add_int() or add_float() too,
 I presume. For these we have left argument dispatch only. But what is
 the right argument? A PerlInt, TclInt, PyInt (or ..Float)? Or is it

The three options are promotion to PMC, leaving these in the vtable, 
or having a mmd-variant for them.

I'm up for the mmd-variant version. We just have a one-dimensional 
table for PMC/int, PMC/float, and PMC/string functions and have the 
ops directly dispatch to it. Seems simpler than stuffing the 
functions into the base MMD table too.
