Remove outdated numeric computation article (#5776)

This page is out of date and has been marked as obsolete for a long time. It was written when there were three representations and goes in to too many internal details, many of which are no longer correct and definitely not relevant for most Dart developers. The page also barely gets any views. There's perhaps some value in the performance suggestions discussed here, but we should revisit that from a wholistic perspective that is more cross-platform, particularly for today's VM and the Wasm target. So this PR removes the article, redirecting to the closest other page we have, that discusses numbers on different platforms. Contributes to #5766 by removing one of the few remaining archived articles.
