cppia: safe casts to Int, Float, Bool and String never throw#135

cast(value, Int) and the other basic types become unchecked conversions in cppia (Cppia.cpp), so cast("abc", Int) gives 0, cast(1.5, Int) gives 1 and cast(7, String) gives "7". Compiled code throws for all three.

    Skip the cppia safe-cast check when the static type already passes
