dan sinclair 31f55c6517 Add move constructor to CastableBase.
This CL adds the Move constructor to castable base as the default one is
deleted due to the defined destructor and the Node subclass defines a
Move constructor.

Ben Clayton 95feb99a9d Add Castable template class
Implements `As<Blah>()` and `Is<Blah>()` automatically.

There are several benefits to using this over the pattern of hand-rolled `IsBlah()`, `AsBlah()` methods:
(1) We don't have to maintain a whole lot of hand written code.
(2) These allow us to cast from the base type to _any_ derived type in a single cast. The existing hand-rolled methods usually require a couple of intermediary casts to go from the base type to the leaf type.
(3) The use of a template parameter means these casts can be called from other template logic.

Note: Unlike the hand-rolled `AsBlah()` methods, it is safe to call `As<T>()` even if the type does not derive from `T`. If the object does not derive from `T` then  `As` will simply return `nullptr`. This allows the calling logic to replace the common pattern of:

```
if (obj.IsBlah()) {
   auto* b = obj.AsBlah();
   ...
}
```

with:

```
if (auto* b = obj.As<Blah>()) {
   ...
}
```

This halves the number of virtual method calls, and is one line shorter.
