Don't reset cast kind without also updating the operand in `simplify_cast` in GVN
Consider this heavily elided segment of the pre-GVN example code that was committed as a test:
```rust
let _4: *const ();
let _5: *const [()];
let mut _6: *const ();
let _7: *mut ();
let mut _8: *const [()];
let mut _9: std::boxed::Box<()>;
let mut _10: *const ();
/* ... */
// Deref a box
_10 = copy ((_9.0: std::ptr::Unique<()>).0: std::ptr::NonNull<()>) as *const () (Transmute);
_4 = copy _10;
_6 = copy _4;
// Inlined body of `slice::from_raw_parts`, to turn a unit pointer into a slice-of-unit pointer
_5 = *const [()] from (copy _6, copy _11);
_8 = copy _5;
// Cast the raw slice-of-unit pointer back to a unit pointer
_7 = copy _8 as *mut () (PtrToPtr);
```
A malformed optimization was changing `_7` (which casted the slice-of-unit ptr to a unit ptr) to:
```
_7 = copy _5 as *mut () (Transmute);
```
...where `_8` was just replaced with `_5` bc of simple copy propagation, that part is not important... the CastKind changing to Transmute is the important part here.
In #133324, two new functionalities were implemented:
* Peeking through unsized -> sized PtrToPtr casts whose operand is `AggregateKind::RawPtr`, to turn it into PtrToPtr casts of the base of the aggregate. In this case, this allows us to see that the value of `_7` is just a ptr-to-ptr cast of `_6`.
* Folding a PtrToPtr cast of an operand which is a Transmute cast into just a single Transmute, which (theoretically) allows us to treat `_7` as a transmute into `*mut ()` of the base of the cast of `_10`, which is the place projection of `((_9.0: std::ptr::Unique<()>).0: std::ptr::NonNull<()>)`.
However, when applying those two subsequent optimizations, we must *not* update the CastKind of the final cast *unless* we also update the operand of the cast, since the operand may no longer make sense with the updated CastKind.
In this case, this is problematic because the type of `_8` is `*const [()]`, but that operand in assignment statement of `_7` does *not* get turned into something like `((_9.0: std::ptr::Unique<()>).0: std::ptr::NonNull<()>)` -- **in other words, `try_to_operand` fails** -- because GVN only turns value nodes into locals or consts, not projections of locals. So we fail to update the operand, but we still update the CastKind to Transmute, which means we now are transmuting types of different sizes (a wide pointer and a thin pointer).

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
