      [torque] generate Cast<> macros from Torque-defined classes · 1052dfb3
      Daniel Clifford authored
      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.
