We don't want cast and dyn_cast to work on temporaries. They don't extend
lifetime like a direct bind to a reference would, so they can introduce
hard to find bugs.
I added tests to make sure we don't regress this. Thanks to Eli Friedman for
noticing this and for his suggestions on how to test it.

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.
