union-cast: teach sparse about union casts
A cast to union type is a GCC extension similar to a compound
literal just for union, using the syntax of a cast.
However, sparse doesn't know about them and treats them like
other casts to non-scalars.
So, teach sparse about them, convert them to the corresponding
compound literal and add a warning flag to enable/disable the
associated warning: -W[no-]union-cast.
Note: a difference between union casts and compound literals
is that the union casts yield rvalues while compound
literals are lvalues but this distinction is not yet done
in this series.
