TableGen: Remove the cast-from-string-to-variable-reference feature

Summary:
Cast-from-string for records isn't going away, but cast-from-string for
variables is a pretty dodgy feature to have, especially when referencing
template arguments. It's doubtful that this ever worked in a reliable
way, and nobody seems to be using it, so let's get rid of it and get
some related cleanups.

     If the type of 'a' does not match *type*, TableGen aborts with an error.
 
-    For historical reasons, 'a' can also be the name of a variable or a
-    template argument in some cases, but this use is unreliable and is
-    discouraged.
-
     Otherwise, perform a normal type cast e.g. between an int and a bit, or
     between record types. This allows casting a record to a subclass, though if
     the types do not match, constant folding will be inhibited. !cast<string>
