Just a kind FYI to @elias-orijtech @kirbyquerby @willpoint @ebuchman @tac0turtle @jhusdero and this change will cut down massively on false positives |

Retrieve the underlying types to perform smarter conversions.
More importantly, this change intelligently flags overflowing
conversions for homogenous signedness aka:
* int* -> int*
* uint* -> uint*
whereby for each same signedness, just check widths where:
+ 64-bit machines:
uint64 == uint > uint32 > uint16 > uint8
int64 == int > int32 > int16 > int8
+ 32-bit machines:
uint64 > uint == uint32 > uint16 > uint8
int64 > int == int32 > int16 > int8
and this change only flags the offending non-fitting conversions.
For an exhibit, this code
```go
package inttests
type in = int
type uin = uint
func it() {
_ = uint64(uint32(0))
_ = uint(uint32(0))
_ = uint(uint16(0))
_ = uint(uint8(0))
_ = uint(uint64(0))
_ = uint32(uint64(0))
_ = uint16(uint64(0))
_ = uint8(uint64(0))
_ = uint8(uint(0))
_ = uint8(uint32(0))
_ = uint8(uint64(0))
_ = int(uint(0))
_ = in(uint(0))
_ = uin(uint(0))
_ = uin(uint32(0))
}
```
* Previously:
+ Could not catch the aliased int with overflowing potential from uint
+ Falsely flagged all the rest as overflowing so 12 issues
* Currently:
+ Catches the aliased int with overflowing potential from uint
+ Only flags the actually overflowing conversions so only 8 issues

Confirmed that this change reduces the reports in cosmos-sdk from 1,045 down to 837, it eliminated a bunch of false positives! |
