implicit_cast<> only performs a cast in cases where an implicit
conversion would be possible. It’s even safer than static_cast<> It’s an
“explicit implicit” cast, which is not normally necsesary, but is
frequently required when working with the ?: operator, functions like
std::min() and std::max(), and logging and testing macros.
The public style guide does not mention implicit_cast<> only because it
is not part of the standard library, but would otherwise require it in
these situations. Since base does provide implicit_cast<>, it should be
used whenever possible.
The only uses of static_cast<> not converted to implicit_cast<> are
those that require static_cast<>, such as those that assign an integer
constant to a variable of an enum type.

This change was generated mechanically by running:
find . \( -name \*.cc -or -name \*.mm -or -name \*.h \) \
-and -not -path ./third_party/\* -and -not -path ./out/\* \
-exec sed -i '' -E -e 's/(^|[^_])NULL/\1nullptr/g' {} +
Further manual fix-ups were applied to remove casts of nullptr to other
pointer types where possible, to preserve the intentional use of NULL
(as a short form of MACH_PORT_NULL) in exception_port_tool, and to fix
80-column violations.
