Before Rust 1.29.0, Clippy introduced the `cast_lossless` lint [1]:

> Rust’s `as` keyword will perform many kinds of conversions, including
> silently lossy conversions. Conversion functions such as `i32::from`
> will only perform lossless conversions. Using the conversion functions
> prevents conversions from becoming silently lossy if the input types

While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such
conversions easier to scrutinize.  It also has the slight benefit of
removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the
changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

One nit below, but you may add:

Not sure if we instead want this in a separate attribute, ultimately it
doesn't really matter, but why should `undocumented_unsafe_blocks` be
special?

No reason. Moved it to a separate line. I won't respin just for this -
hopefully Miguel doesn't mind fixing when he takes it, if there's not
a v7 by then.
