Sean Silva 8b8fa7b2f4 Casting.h: Automatically handle isa<Base>(Derived). ...

Additionally, all such cases are handled with no dynamic check.

All `classof()` of the form

    class Foo {
      [...]
      static bool classof(const Bar *) { return true; }
      [...]
    }

where Foo is an ancestor of Bar are no longer necessary.
Don't write them!

Note: The exact test is `is_base_of<Foo, Bar>`, which is non-strict, so
that Foo is considered an ancestor of itself.

This leads to the following rule of thumb for LLVM-style RTTI:

    The argument type of `classof()` should be a strict ancestor.
