make NOP dyn casts not require anything about the vtable

As suggested [on Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/144729-t-types/topic/dyn-upcasting.20stabilization/near/292151439). This matches what the codegen backends already do, and what Miri did do until rust-lang#99420 when I made it super extra paranoid.
