data: Skip the O(n) np.delete in index_handle_oob for numeric indices

index_handle_oob dropped out-of-bounds (None) entries with
np.delete(idx, where(idx == None)) on every 1-D array index. Only an
object array can hold those sentinels; a plain numeric index has none, so
the call was a wasted O(n) copy (plus an elementwise '== None'). Return
the index unchanged in that case. A 65536-point assignment drops from
~1.6 ms to ~0.17 ms; the object-array path (real OOB drops) is unchanged.
