Better support literal and literal/const-derived sources to "force", and use ref.cast to accommodate supported differences.
This is not required by the current FIRRTL spec, but makes using it a bit easier.
Also this handles various const scenarios re:aggregates, current code seems primarily to get ground types/literals accepted.
