Improve performance Array#deconstruct & Array#to_ary with Ruby code.

like this.

class Array
  def deconstruct
    return self
  end

  def to_ary
    return self
  end
end

benchmark:

prelude: |
  sary = Array.new(10)
  mary = Array.new(1000)
  lary = Array.new(30_000_000)
benchmark:
  - sary.deconstruct
  - mary.deconstruct
  - lary.deconstruct
  - sary.to_ary
  - mary.to_ary
  - lary.to_ary
loop_count: 20000000

benchmark result:

sh@MyComputer:~/rubydev/build$ make benchmark/benchmark.yml -e COMPARE_RUBY=~/.rbenv/shims/ruby -e BENCH_RUBY=../install/bin/ruby

COMPARE_RUBY is ruby 3.0.0dev (2020-11-07T13:12:22Z master 5823f6c25b) [x86_64-linux]. BENCH_RUBY is ahead of ruby 3.0.0dev (2020-11-07T13:12:22Z master 5823f6c25b) [x86_64-linux].

Also expect to improve the performance of pattern matching using arrays.
