Backport of #20729 and #20754.
In some cases, e.g. ensure-native-byte-order will return not the
default, but a copy of the descriptor.
This (and maybe metadata) makes it somewhat annoying to ensure
exact identity between descriptors for reduce "operands" as
returned by the resolve-descirptors method of the ArrayMethod.
To avoid this problem, we check for no-casting (which implies
viewable with offset == 0) rather than strict identity.
Unfortunately, this means that descriptor resolution must be slightly
more careful, but in general this should all be perfectly well
defined.
Closes gh-20699. Closes gh-20751.
