qom: aggressively optimize qom casting

This patch adds a small typename cache to ObjectClass.  This allows
caching positive casts within each ObjectClass.  Benchmarking a
PPC workload provided by Aurelien, this patch eliminates every
single g_hash_table_lookup() happening during the benchmark (which
was about 2 million per-second).

With this patch applied, I get exactly the same performance (within
the margin of error) as with --disable-qom-cast-debug.

N.B. it's safe to cache typenames only from the _assert() macros
because they are always called with string literals.
