This started with a patch that enabled `clippy::ptr_as_ptr`. Benno
Lossin suggested I also look into `clippy::ptr_cast_constness` and I
discovered `clippy::as_ptr_cast_mut`. This series now enables all 3
lints. It also enables `clippy::as_underscore` which ensures other
pointer casts weren't missed. The first commit reduces the need for
pointer casts and is shared with another series[1].

Thanks for this series! Did you encounter any instances of `$val as $ty`
where you couldn't convert them due to unsizing? I remember that we had
some cases back then (maybe Alice remembers them too?). If not then no
worries :)
