Roy Frostig 6abefa1977 fast dispatch for functions over typed PRNG key arrays
Before this change, JAX could dispatch compiled functions over new-style (typed)
RNG key arrays, but it would always do so off of the fast (C++-based) dispatch
path. In other words, switching from old-style `uint32` RNG keys to new-style
keys would regress dispatch times. With this change, dispatch happens on the
fast path again and performance regressions ought to be minimal.

We currently maintain only one pytree registry, for all registered pytree node
types. We want RNG key arrays to also be treated as pytree leaves everywhere
*except* during dispatch. In other words: we want operations on (typed) RNG key
arrays to appear in Jaxpr, but we want to unravel those arrays into their
underlying `uint32` arrays only during dispatch.

To do this, we add a new internal pytree registry that dispatch respects
uniquely. This registry includes all items in the default registry, but also the
RNG key array type.
