Add @jit decorators to jax.numpy operators.

By wrapping common operators in `jit`, we get a number of benefits:
* `jit` has a faster, more optimized dispatch path compared to the primitive dispatch path in JAX. It's faster to dispatch a `jit` computation than a single primitive.
* `jit` allows us to cache and reuse logic such as broadcasting and type promotion.

One downside is that we now report an error when large Python integer scalars (e.g. `2**32 - 1`) are passed as arguments to JAX array operators. The workaround to this is to use explicitly typed constants instead of Python scalars.

On my laptop, this benchmark improves from 95us to 4us:

```
In [1]: import jax.numpy as jnp, jax

In [2]: x = jax.device_put(7)
WARNING:absl:No GPU/TPU found, falling back to CPU. (Set TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL=0 and rerun for more info.)

In [3]: %timeit jnp.add(x, x).block_until_ready()
4.18 µs ± 159 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)
```

@ -14,6 +14,15 @@ PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE '..main' WITH AN ACTUAL TAG in GITHUB LINK.
* Support for NumPy 1.17 has been dropped, per the
[deprecation policy](https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deprecation.html).
Please upgrade to a supported NumPy version.
* The `jit` decorator has been added around the implementation of a number of
operators on JAX arrays. This speeds up dispatch times for common
operators such as `+`.
This change should largely be transparent to most users. However, there is
one known behavioral change, which is that large integer constants may now
produce an error when passed directly to a JAX operator
(e.g., `x + 2**40`). The workaround is to cast the constant to an
explicit type (e.g., `np.float64(2**40)`).
* New features:
* Improved the support for shape polymorphism in jax2tf for operations that
need to use a dimension size in array computation, e.g., `jnp.mean`.
