This PR adds dedicated kernels to the
pow
dtype matrix for some cases of a floating-point base and integer exponent.This greatly improves the performance by removing the need to copy and up-cast both arrays.
Also refactors in-place binary operation type support: rather than relying on the out-of-place type support matrix and table, binary in-place operations now have their own dedicated tables. This means that in-place operations can more easily support type combinations which the out-of-place functions don't.
