0706cb5eb6 + support for pointers to types that are implicit pointer types in the JVM
(non-dynamic arrays, records, shortstrings)
  - removed the ability to typecast such types directly into related class
    types, you have to use the @-operator first now to get a pointer to
    the type
   o updated the RTL and internal compiler code to properly use this
     new convention
   o allowed removing several special cases from
     tjvmtypeconvnode.target_specific_general_typeconv(), and that
     method can probably be removed completely over time
  * no longer give compile time errors for pointer-related typecasts that
    will fail at run time, because the checking was too complex and could
    be worked around via actual pointer typecasts anyway
  * removed some unnecessary checkcast operations (for shortstring/
    shortstringclass)
