`Array(::AbstractRange)` should return an `Array` (#50568) Currently, `Array(r::AbstractRange)` falls back to `vcat(r)`, but certain ranges may choose to specialize `vcat(r::AbstractRange)` to not return an `Array`. This PR ensures that `Array(r)` always returns an `Array`. At present, there's some code overlap with `vcat` (just above the `Array` method added in this PR). Perhaps some of these may be replaced by `unsafe_copyto!`, but the tests for ranges include some special cases that don't support `getindex`, which complicates things a bit. I've not done this for now. In any case, the common bit of code is pretty simple, so perhaps the duplication is harmless.
