The way `CheckCastPP` nodes are handled now doesn't let redundant casts to be completely removed: even when the corresponding runtime check disappears, the cast node stays in the graph and it broadens/worsens the type of casted value.
Proposed fix leaves `CheckCastPP` handling intact, but skips the insertion of redundant cast nodes as part of receiver subtype check.
Also, interface casts on receiver temporarily don't get a `CheckCastPP` irrespective of whether the subtype check is redundant or not.
Thought the assertion failures showed up after JDK-8267807, the bug was there long before.
Testing:
- [x] hs-tier1 - hs-tier4
