[clang] [clang] Migrate away from PointerUnion::dyn_cast (NFC) (PR #226047)

[Kazu Hirata via cfe-commits]

https://github.com/kazutakahirata created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/226047

Note that PointerUnion::dyn_cast has been soft deprecated in
PointerUnion.h:

  // FIXME: Replace the uses of is(), get() and dyn_cast() with
  //        isa<T>, cast<T> and the llvm::dyn_cast<T>

Literal migration would result in dyn_cast_if_present (see the
definition of PointerUnion::dyn_cast), but this patch uses dyn_cast on
DeclListNode::Decls in StoredDeclsList because the operands are always
nonnull:

- StoredDeclsList::getAsDecl and StoredDeclsList::getAsList are called
  only after verifying !isNull() (in StoredDeclsList::getASTContext,
  StoredDeclsList::addOrReplaceDecl, and ASTImporterTest.cpp).
- DeclListNode::Rest is always nonnull because the singly-linked list of
  DeclListNode is terminated by a NamedDecl *, not by nullptr.
