Title: CLN: refactor Series.reindex to core/generic

closes #4604

TST: GH4604, reindexing with a method of 'ffill' gives incorrect results

BUG/CLN: (GH4604) Refactor Series.reindex to core/generic.py allow method= in reindexing
on a Series to work

API/CLN: GH4604 Infer and downcast dtype if appropriate on ffill/bfill
this is for consistency when doing: df.reindex().ffill() and df.reindex(method='ffill')

CLN: allow backfill/pad/interpolate to operate on integers (by float conversion)
provide downcasting back to original dtype where needed core.internals.interpolate

ENH: provide core.index.identical method to compare values and attributes similar to .equals

API: changed back to pre-GH3482 where a reindex with no args will by default copy
