Incorporate PR from Steven Schäfer into IrType-based implicit cast
insertion (commit 17b925636e8717e7648c5d7b792c6ab4d18f776d).
NB this still uses originalKotlinType to determine if the type was
nullability flexible. It is somewhat error-prone and something we want
to get rid of. However, it boils down to some design questions related
to implicit null checks in Kotlin - e.g., it might be Ok to just treat
nullability flexible type `T!` as `T?` in IR, generate null checks for
all usages of type `T?` where a non-null type is expected, and later
eliminate the null checks that are redundant according to the (quite
conservative) criterion in the redundant null check elimination.
