Fix #459: Fill out the set of conversion functions for all POD types (#664)
Previously, to_<type> only accepted a string or the same type (identity),
and <type>() constructors only accepted Boxed_Number. This left gaps such as
to_int(char), to_char(int), char(string), int(string), and to_double(char).

Add two overloads to bootstrap_pod_type: to_<name>(Boxed_Number) enables
cross-type numeric conversions (e.g. to_int('A') → 65, to_char(65) → 'A'),
and <name>(string) via parse_string enables construction from strings
(e.g. char("A") → 'A', int("65") → 65, double("3.5") → 3.5).
