treewide: string-quote the first argument to T.cast

Using future annotations, type annotations become strings at runtime and
don't impact performance. This is not possible to do with T.cast though,
because it is a function argument instead of an annotation.

Quote the type argument everywhere in order to have the same effect as
future annotations. This also allows linters to better detect in some
cases that a given import is typing-only.
