[C++] Remove usage of "extern template class" from NumericArray<T> #20963
Description
We aren't using this to any benefit right now (only the simple constructor is being instantiated once, everything else in inline), and the rules about template visibility and linkage vary a lot between compilers, as evidenced by patches such as #3503
In general I think we should try not to use "extern template class" at all in the codebase for the problems that come with it
