AK: Add static_ptr_cast support for the Userspace<T> pointer type

When using Userspace<T> there are certain syscalls where being able
to cast between types is needed. You should be able to easily cast
away the Userspace<T> wrapper, but it's perfectly safe to be able to
cast the internal type that is being wrapped.
