[API] Use proper C++ methods to implement type checks

The {TYPE_CHECK} macro used an ancient pattern to check for
assignability, by assigning to a static_casted nullptrs of the
respective types.
C++11 introduced standard library helpers to express this more
naturally. The most direct translation would have been to use
{std::is_assignable} or {std::is_convertible} on the pointer types, but
in most cases we can be even more strict and force one type to be a
proper subtype of the other.
The only exception is {ReturnValue}, which allows to assign anything if
it's void.
