Add __cast__ function and syntax

Add `__cast__(val, type)` function and syntax. Syntax is `(type) val`.
(commit: 19d690c)

Warn on casts to same type + Error on impossible casts
(commit: e2698cc)

Optimize __cast__()

- Mark `__cast__()` for constant and cached returns.
- Remove nested casts where the second executed cast is removed if the first executed cast passing ensures that the second executed cast will pass.

Clone IVariables in IVariableList clone

Allows for not recreating a new `IVariable` for every assign operation.
(commit: 541100b)

Optimize assign() to __unsafe_assign__ ()

Optimize `assign()` to `__unsafe_assign__ ()` when it is known that the `assign()` typecheck will always pass.
(commit: 8a3b73d)

Reduce assign() runtime actions

- Do not redefine variables in variable list when not necessary.
- Unwrap IVariable values only once.
- Directly create new IVariable with correct values when necessary.

Fix core errors in `throw(type, string)` when passing non-exception types.

Fix forward declaration procedure parsing

- Fix forward declaration procedures not parsing correctly if they are not followed by an AST term. This seems to only be an issue in interpreter mode as far as was tested.
- Add comments to clarify proc keyword rewriting logic.
(commit: 507e0f0)

Fix checking functions too early during compile

Caused a compile error when a function did not exist but was inside a proper function_exists() or extension_exists() code block.
