Andreas Kling 1d468ed6d3 AK: Stop allowing implicit downcast with RefPtr and NonnullRefPtr ...

We were allowing this dangerous kind of thing:

RefPtr<Base> base;
RefPtr<Derived> derived = base;

This patch changes the {Nonnull,}RefPtr constructors so this is no
longer possible.

To downcast one of these pointers, there is now static_ptr_cast<T>:

RefPtr<Derived> derived = static_ptr_cast<Derived>(base);

Fixing this exposed a ton of cowboy-downcasts in various places,
which we're now forced to fix. :^)
