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 will be used in the upcoming Minidump context structures.
This also updates mini_chromium to ba9b15f1b6a7 to pick up:
ba9b15f1b6a7 Make bit_cast available in C++11 mode.

InRangeCast<> is similar to base::saturated_cast<>, but it allows the
caller to specify the value to be returned in the event that the source
value can’t be converted to the destination data type without data loss.
