This affects regular code generation as well as constant evaluation in trans,
but not the HIR constant evaluator because that one returns an error for
overflowing casts and NaN-to-int casts. That error is conservatively
correct and we should be careful to not accept more code in constant
expressions.
The changes to code generation are guarded by a new -Z flag, to be able
to evaluate the performance impact. The trans constant evaluation changes
are unconditional because they have no run time impact and don't affect
type checking either.
