Explicit casts make it easier to confidently navigate the code base and
apply refactorings which tighten types. This change exposes a number of
places where types can be tightened, but only the most trivial were
applied. For most places I added the explicit cast that would have
happened anyway and so behavior shouldn't be changing.
- Add the configuration which disallows implicit casts in the analyzer.
- Add explicit casts in almost all instances.
- Where the implicit cast was due to a local variable type on the left,
change it to a `var` so the type is not repeated.
- In a few places add argument types where they were already applied on
the parent type, and the subclass was unnecessarily loosening argument
types to dynamic.
- In a few places where a method was defined with an implicit dynamic
return but had an obvious and consistent return type, annotate the
method instead of casting after calls to that method.
