Arrays are currently always passed by reference, this means that we always keep the value in linear memory and never load it to Wasm's stack. Scalar values however do get lowered to Wasm's stack. This means when bitcasting from an array to a scalar value, we must load the memory of the array as such scalar type. To bitcast a scalar type to an array, we allocate a new temporary in the linear data segment, and then store the scalar value there.

A bug was discovered by #17802, where in the Wasm backend it didn't correctly bitcast values between array and scalar types. This fixes that and re-enables the behavior tests as well as the default test-runner.
