In Rust 1.72.0, Clippy introduced the `ptr_cast_constness` lint [1]:

> Though `as` casts between raw pointers are not terrible,
> `pointer::cast_mut` and `pointer::cast_const` are safer because they
> cannot accidentally cast the pointer to another type.

There are only 3 affected sites:
- `*mut T as *const U as *mut U` becomes `(*mut T).cast()`.
- `&self as *const Self as *mut Self` becomes
  `core::ptr::from_ref(self).cast_mut()`.
- `*const T as *mut _` becommes `(*const T).cast_mut()`.

Apply these changes and enable the lint -- no functional change
intended.
