Subject[PATCH 2/6] typesafe_cb: wrappers for typesafe callbacks.
Date
cast_if_type is clever but annoying to use, so we make some slightly
less annoying wrappers for callback registration.

These allow const pointer-taking functions as well as the normal
non-const ones (volatile variant omitted for simplicity). We also
have a typesafe_cb_preargs() for callbacks which don't just take one
argument.

Here's an example of use:

BEFORE:
void foo_set_callback(int (*callback)(void *), void *arg);

AFTER:
#define foo_set_callback(cb, arg) \
__foo_set_callback(typesafe_cb(int, (cb), (arg)), (arg))
void __foo_set_callback(int (*callback)(void *), void *arg);

o If cb is of form "int cb(typeof(arg))" or "int cb(const typeof(arg))" it
will be cast to form "int cb(void *)".
o Otherwise, if cb is not already of form "int cb(void *)" it will cause a
warning when passed to __foo_set_callback().
o If arg is not a pointer, then handing it to __foo_set_callback() will cause
a warning.

Note: there are at least two possible additions we don't yet need. We
don't cover callbacks which take a volatile pointer, even though that
would be fine, and we don't have a typesafe_cb_postargs().
