Add cast function.

[dnwpark]

Allows users to cast between types:

assert client.get(std.str.cast(std.int64(1))) == "1"
assert client.get(std.array[std.str].cast(
    std.array[std.int64](
        [std.int64(1), std.int64(2), std.int64(3)]
    )
) == ["1", "2", "3"]

Supports scalars, enums, array, tuple, range. Multiranges not supported, not sure we can even construct them in the qb right now.

Is the idea here that we support generating casts between any two types, and then we let the server deal with figuring out which are real?

That's probably a reasonable first take.
I think eventually we might want to generate overloads based on reflecting the casts in the schema, but this is an expedient first step.

@elprans @1st1 thoughts?

What happens if you don't do this?
I think it shouldn't matter.

Mypy complains about applying the type arguments to std.tuple without this:

tests/test_qb_cast_tuple_01.py:20: error: Bad number of arguments for type alias, expected 0, given 4  [type-arg]

It's ok with std.array though, for some reason...

[msullivan]

Maybe generate these in a separate mtehod?

[elprans]

This is an example of where I feel the explicit cast is inconsistent. We are casting a Python literal string "Red" to std.str via a (Pythonic) call to a constructor, whereas the second cast is via a classmethod.

[elprans]

I feel like this need a bit more work. Ideally we should expose all explicit casts with support for base Python types, e.g the Enum casts should accept Python strings directly without an extra std.str cast.
