qapi/expr.py: Add casts in a few select cases

Casts are instructions to the type checker only, they aren't "safe" and
should probably be avoided in general. In this case, when we perform
type checking on a nested structure, the type of each field does not
"stick".

(See PEP 647 for an example of "type narrowing" that does "stick".
 It is available in Python 3.10, so we can't use it yet.)

We don't need to assert that something is a str if we've already checked
or asserted that it is -- use a cast instead for these cases.
