- lots of static_cast
- add safe_cast
- types adjustments
- config
- IStorage::read/watch
- ...
- some TODO's (to convert types in future)
P.S. That was quite a journey...
v2: fixes after rebase
v3: fix conflicts after #42308 merged

The original motivation for this commit was that shared_ptr_helper used
std::shared_ptr<>() which does two heap allocations instead of
make_shared<>() which does a single allocation. Turned out that
1. the affected code (--> Storages/) is not on a hot path (rendering the
performance argument moot ...)
2. yet copying Storage objects is potentially dangerous and was
previously allowed.
Hence, this change
- removes shared_ptr_helper and as a result all inherited create() methods,
- instead, Storage objects are now created using make_shared<>() by the
caller (for that to work, many constructors had to be made public), and
- all Storage classes were marked as noncopyable using boost::noncopyable.
In sum, we are (likely) not making things faster but the code becomes
cleaner and harder to misuse.
