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 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/51241/commits/f6ab74b8e7efed01c1045773b6693f23f6ebd93c.

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