GCC 8 now generates warnings for incompatible function pointer casts
[-Werror=cast-function-type]. Apparently there are a few of those in rts
code, which makes `./validate` unhappy (since we compile with `-Werror`)

This commit tries to fix these issues by changing the functions to have
the correct type (and, if necessary, moving the casts into those
functions).

For instance, hash/comparison function are declared (`Hash.h`) to take
`StgWord` but we want to use `StgWord64[2]` in `StaticPtrTable.c`.
Instead of casting the function pointers, we can cast the `StgWord`
parameter to `StgWord*`. I think this should be ok since `StgWord`
should be the same size as a pointer.
