gstvalue: Check GValue type directly for fundamentals

When wanting to check whether a GValue is of a certain fundamental
type, we can just check directly the GValue type instead of doing
a more expensive G_VALUE_HOLDS (which calls g_type_check_value_holds())

Benchmark:
 * valgrind callgrind (instruction calls):
 gst_value_compare: 48% to 58% of the calls (70 to 100% speedup)
 gst_value_subtract: 62% to 79% of the calls (27 to 60% speedup)
 gst_value_intersect: 51% to 60% of the calls (66 to 94% speedup)
