Several extensions use the .toString() function over the Scratch.Cast variant.

Related to #1810.

Several extensions (especially those that predate the Cast API) utilize the JavaScript .toString function, when it's better practice to use Scratch.Cast.toString. Not sure if it'd cause any incompatibility to swap them out, hence why I'm not doing this myself.

The following extensions use .toString() over the Cast variant with no apparent upside.

• RixxyX
• Text
• Utilities
• Gamepad
• Skyhigh173 / BigInt
• -SIPC- / Time
• NOname-awa / Regular Expression
• Turboloader / AudioStream
• obviousAlexC / SensingPlus
• qxsck / Var and List
• Medericoder / TextCase
• ZXMushroom63 / searchAPI

The following extensions use .toString() in advanced cases where it may break things to use Cast.

• CST1229 / ZIP (most use cases are deliberate)
• Cloudlink
• GameJolt

Adding on that Utilities doesn't use some proper Casting either. Needs further investigation into other extensions if they do use outdated methods.
