Daniel Clifford 1052dfb387 [torque] generate Cast<> macros from Torque-defined classes
This change enables automatic generation of Cast<> operators for
classes that are defined in Torque.

* Cast<> macros are generated for all classes that are defined in
  Torque code that are neither shapes nor marked with a new
  @doNotGenerateCast annotation.

* Implicitly generated Cast macros simply call through to an
  internally-defined "DownCastForTorqueClass" macro that implements
  the cast using one of three strategies for efficiency. If the class
  has subclasses (i.e. a range of instance types including subtypes),
  the DownCastForTorqueClass checks for inclusion in the instance type
  range. If the class has a single instance type (i.e. no subclasses),
  then either 1) a map check is used if the class has a globally-
  defined map constant or 2) an equality check for the instance type
  is used.

* Added new intrinsics to introspect class information, e.g. fetching
  instance type ranges for a class, accessing the globally-defined map
  for a class.

* Removed a whole pile of existing explicit Cast<> operators that are
  no longer needed because of the implicitly generated Cast<> macros.

* Added tests for the new Cast<> implementations.
