Cleanup: use an intermediate value for cast_primitive_type

Assign the actual value before casting to large uint64_t/double types.

This improves readability, especially in cases where both pointer
and integer casts were used in one expression, to make matters worse
clang-format treated these casts as a multiplication.

This also made debugging/printing the values more of a hassle.

No functional changes (GCC produced identical output).
