Add casts for legitimate integer to enum conversions
This patch is mostly extracted from Pedro's C++ branch. It adds explicit
casts from integer to enum types, where it is really the intention to do
so. This could be because we are ...
* iterating on enum values (we need to iterate on an equivalent integer)
* converting from a value read from bytes (dwarf attribute, agent
expression opcode) to the equivalent enum
* reading the equivalent integer value from another language (Python/Guile)
An exception to that is the casts in regcache.c. It seems to me like
struct regcache's register_status field could be a pointer to an array of
enum register_status. Doing so would waste a bit of memory (4 bytes
used by the enum vs 1 byte used by the current signed char, for each
register). If we switch to C++11 one day, we can define the underlying
type of an enum type, so we could have the best of both worlds.
