Refactoring NativeAOT helper files to align with CoreCLR patterns

Task: Move helper methods from ArrayHelpers.cs and TypedReferenceHelpers.cs to their appropriate target types to make NativeAOT helpers more similar to CoreCLR.

Changes completed:

Successfully refactored NativeAOT helper files
Fixed all build breaks including:
- Updated jithelpers.h to use METHOD__ARRAY__CTORANY
- Added missing using System; directive for IntPtr
- Added missing using Internal.Runtime.Augments; directive for RuntimeAugments

Summary:
This PR successfully refactors the NativeAOT helper files to align with CoreCLR patterns by moving helper methods to be co-located with the types they operate on. All code review feedback has been addressed and all build breaks have been fixed.
