Auto merge of #114528 - dtolnay:globalalloccast, r=cjgillot

Delete some useless casts from global_allocator expansion

These casts are from when #\[global_allocator\] needed to translate back and forth between `*mut u8` and `*mut Opaque`. This should have been cleaned up as part of f6ab74b.

Difference to code generated by `#[global_allocator] static ALLOCATOR: Allocator = Allocator;`:

```diff
 const _: () = {
     #[rustc_std_internal_symbol]
     unsafe fn __rust_alloc(arg0: usize, arg1: usize) -> *mut u8 {
