[#671] Better type errors on invalid int casts
Description
Problem: Safe(r) fromIntegral (i.e. intCast) reports a confusing type error "Couldn't match type ‘'False’ with ‘'True’" on invalid conversion.
Solution: Introduce CheckIntSubType constraint synonym, equivalent to IsIntSubType a b ~ 'True, but reporting a human-readable TypeError when IsIntSubType a b ~ 'False.
