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.
