Fix scala#22226: Use classOf[BoxedUnit] for Unit array in ArrayConstructors.

The `ArrayConstructors` phase rewrites array constructors to calls
to `scala.runtime.Arrays.newArray`. When it does that, it must pass
the run-time `jl.Class` of the element type. Previously, it used
`classOf[Unit]` when creating an `Array[Unit]` (or nested). That
is not correct, as from the Java perspective, we need to create
`Array[BoxedUnit]`.

We now identify `elemType <: Unit` and replace it with `BoxedUnit`.

---

This highlights a limitation of the Scala.js backend. We should
rewrite calls to `newArray` in the backend to use direct array
creation instead.
