cg_llvm: Use a type-safe helper to cast `&str` and `&[u8]` to `*const c_char`

In `rustc_codegen_llvm` there are many uses of `.as_ptr().cast()` to convert a string or byte-slice to `*const c_char`, which then gets passed through FFI.

This works, but is fragile, because there's nothing constraining the pointer cast to actually be from `u8` to `c_char`. If the original value changes to something else that has an `as_ptr` method, or the context changes to expect something other than `c_char`, the cast will silently do the wrong thing.

By making the cast more explicit via a helper method, we can be sure that it will either perform the intended cast, or fail at compile time.
