Reimplements Ptr appply/update methods to new create a new Ptr instance. In benchmarks made for #3521 from before rewrite of ByteArrayBits skipping GC allocations allowed to drop execution time from ~500ms to ~17ms when running in release-fast mode + lto=full
This change does also add additional
def {+,-}(offset: Int): Ptr[T]
methods allowing to skip unneccessary boxing of primitive int to sized numbers
