[ADT] restrict bit_cast to trivially-constructible To

Summary: As discussed in r341853 by blaikie, the reinterpret_cast was technically an aliasing violation. Restrict our bit_cast implementation to To which are trivially-constructible (and note the existing restriction to constexpr). Once we move to C++17 we can use a version of bit_cast without these restrictions, or if we care we can SFINAE a different implementation when To isn't trivially-constructible.

Originally landed in r342710 and reverted in r342711 because is_trivially_copyable is only in GCC 5.1 and later.
