Can't override class's Numeric

This is a (minor) blocker for partcl-nqp work.

Still happens on latest NQP.

I've had another look at this. On JVM, it turns out the numify op looks for a method Num rather than Numeric. Changing that reveals another bug where it tries to unbox the int as a num, but if you also replace 3 with 3.0 it works on JVM at least.

Still not quite sure what's happening on Parrot.

Parrot's long gone, partcl isn't a thing anymore, but this is still not working:

09:05 < [Coke]> nqp: class EEK {method Numeric() {return 3}}; my $a:= EEK.new(); say(+$a);
09:05 < camelia> nqp-moarvm: OUTPUT: «Cannot intify this object of type P6opaque (EEK)␤   at <tmp>:1  (<ephemeral
