Proper handling of Integer -> Float conversion. #1193

In ceylon/ceylon-compiler#1186 I had to use a disgusting hack for the fact that our whole handling of the auto-conversion of Integer to Float in arithmetic operations is a big fudge. We should fix this. It entails:

Removing the overloaded methods on Integer and Float
Having applyErasureAndBoxing() understand about the conversion in it's boxed and unboxed forms.

This sounds a lot like something that will take time and no visible user benefit and should be moved to 1.2, no?

Fine with me.
