Broadcasting BlockRange by integer types doesn't perform proper conversions

[mtfishman]

Broadcasting BlockRange by integer types doesn't perform proper conversions, for example:

julia> Int32.(Block(1):Block(3))
1:3

julia> eltype(Int32.(Block(1):Block(3)))
Int

This is caused by this broadcasting definition:

BlockArrays.jl/src/blockindices.jl

Line 537 in cd73466

broadcasted(::DefaultArrayStyle{1}, ::Type{<:Integer}, block_range::BlockRange{1}) = first(block_range.indices)

which was a sloppy definition I accidentally introduced in #405 when generalizing block index types beyond Int. It could be fixed by changing that definition too:

broadcasted(::DefaultArrayStyle{1}, ::Type{T}, block_range::BlockRange{1}) where {T <: Integer} = convert(AbstractUnitRange{T}, first(block_range.indices))

Ideally we would use:

broadcasted(::DefaultArrayStyle{1}, ::Type{T}, block_range::BlockRange{1}) where {T <: Integer} = T.(first(block_range.indices))

but broadcasting unit ranges with integer types doesn't preserve unit ranges in Base right now:

julia> Int32.(1:3)
3-element Vector{Int32}:
 1
 2
 3
