[scanner/paser] Don't use identical on ints

Short explanation: For whatever reason, when using `identical` on `int`s
the ints are first boxed (`BoxInt64`) before being compared
(`StrictCompare`) whereas just doing `==` just does a compare
(`EqualityCompare`).

Results:

With the CFE compiling (a fixed version of) itself I get these results:

```
instructions:u: -0.5756% +/- 0.0003% (-124825401.80 +/- 64013.17)
```

i.e. almost 125 mio instructions saved.

Another run - with 100 iterations each - I get

```
msec task-clock:u: -0.4927% +/- 0.2585% (-20.85 +/- 10.94)
page-faults:u: 0.0174% +/- 0.0139% (18.80 +/- 15.00)
cycles:u: -0.5233% +/- 0.2683% (-91305451.82 +/- 46815747.30)
instructions:u: -0.5754% +/- 0.0002% (-124793061.49 +/- 37426.30)
branch-misses:u: -1.6903% +/- 1.1207% (-1091410.69 +/- 723627.04)
seconds time elapsed: -0.4863% +/- 0.2581% (-0.02 +/- 0.01)
seconds user: -0.4547% +/- 0.3253% (-0.02 +/- 0.01)
```

In the scanner benchmark with `--string` (i.e. using string scanner) I
get these results:

```
msec task-clock:u: -3.7992% +/- 0.3316% (-190.54 +/- 16.63)
cycles:u: -4.1423% +/- 0.3566% (-836808313.28 +/- 72033424.19)
instructions:u: -3.3524% +/- 0.0000% (-1480262370.08 +/- 828.58)
branch-misses:u: -1.7591% +/- 0.9582% (-1781144.28 +/- 970258.82)
seconds time elapsed: -3.7988% +/- 0.3303% (-0.19 +/- 0.02)
seconds user: -4.0211% +/- 0.4161% (-0.19 +/- 0.02)
```

(Just running the benchmark also sees the characters/µs go from ~93 to
~97).

In the scanner benchmark with `--bytes` (i.e. using the utf8 scanner) I
get these results:

```
msec task-clock:u: -4.2872% +/- 0.4467% (-185.64 +/- 19.34)
cycles:u: -4.2972% +/- 0.4382% (-812955454.92 +/- 82892232.23)
instructions:u: -3.4867% +/- 0.0000% (-1479744935.28 +/- 297.12)
seconds time elapsed: -4.2872% +/- 0.4470% (-0.19 +/- 0.02)
seconds user: -4.2204% +/- 0.4730% (-0.18 +/- 0.02)
```

(Just running the benchmark also sees the bytes/µs go from ~108 to ~113).

In both cases we notice how the actual time, cycles and instructions
agree pretty well.

Combining the data for the compile and the benchmark I assume this CL
actually reduces the runtime of the CFE compiling itself by a about
half a percent.

Dart

An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.

  • Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
