[Bug python/11145] New: Add C++ style casts to Python API

[jens dot elmenthaler at verigy dot com]

Add the support for the C++ style casts (static_cast, dynamic_cast, 
reinterpret_cast, and const_cast) to the Python API. These are frequently 
required for pretty printers in programs using deep type hierarchies.

I think static_cast and const_cast aren't really needed.
Value.cast should handle those ok.
I am testing a patch for the others.
