Summary
A static_cast between integral types, to avoid C++ compiler warnings.

Description
   In C++ source code, use sal::static_int_cast<T>(n) instead of
   static_cast<T>(n) whenever a compiler warning about integral type problems
   shall be silenced.  That way, source code that needs to be modified when the
   type of any of the expressions involved in the compiler warning is changed
   can be found more easily.

   Both template arguments T1 and T2 must be integral types.
