lib: add macro that performs explicit static casts when using a C++ compiler
C++ doesn't support implicit casts from void pointers like C does. And the libfrr headers have some bits of code that rely on implicit casts in order to work. To solve this problem, add a new "static_cast" macro that performs explicit static casts when a C++ compiler is being used, or do nothing otherwise. NOTE: since macros are only evaluated when they are used, there might be other macros from libfrr that will need to use "static_cast" as well. If a header is successfully compiled using a C++ compiler, there's no guarantee that its macros are compatible with C++. We'll only know about such macros when they are used by C++ code, then we'll need to adapt them one by one in the future. Signed-off-by: Renato Westphal <renato@opensourcerouting.org>
