Dont use kotlin reflection (#1544)

[kzotin]

Kotlin reflection is super slow on some old devices (~20seconds on cold start, see #1544 ), which is a blocker for us after migrating from realm-java to kotlin.

We've got such device, and fix was verified there

@kzotin I think you signed the form as "@kzotin" instead of "kzotin" and that's why the cla-bot is still failing

Would you mind adding a changelog entry to the PR?

We tested this fix in our project. The fix makes realm configuration creating much faster, but it slows down some queries. If realmObjectCompanionOrNull called with Double::class then this function works much slower (more than on 50%). Most likely because of Class.forName() is called two times on every realmObjectCompanionOrNull function call.

[tuba]

Double::class implements Parcelable in your case?) Twice call can be only for classes that implements Parcelable and only once when warm up the cache
