[preconv]: Fix code style nits (5/6).
* src/preproc/preconv/preconv.cpp (conversion_iconv, do_file): Favor C++
`static_cast<>` and `const_cast<>` operators over omnipotent C-style
casts.
Some pretty hairy C-style casts while looping over the input and output
buffers (to resize them if necessary) remain. Migrating those will
demand more careful thought.

(main): Explicitly compare values of pointer type to null
pointer literals instead of letting them pun down to Booleans.
