    Fix C++ cast of derived class to base class
    
    PR c++/28907 points out that casting from a derived class to a base
    class fails in some situations.  The problem turned out to be a
    missing use of value_embedded_offset.  One peculiarity here is that,
    if you managed to construct a pointer-to-derived with an embedded
    offset of 0, the cast would work -- for example, one of the two new
    tests here passes without the patch.
    
    This embedded offset stuff is an endless source of bugs.  I wonder if
    it's possible to get rid of it somehow.
    
    Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
