Description

PHP's intval(), strval(), floatval() and boolval() are from PHP 4 ages. PHP 5 and later has the type hinting pattern (e.g (int) $var) that is ~6x faster than their function-call counterpart.

There are over 250 such calls, and I'll upload a patch to replace them with type hints. The patch itself is large, but because intval() and (int) are identical in usage, I hope you can review it. The test suit passed (​https://travis-ci.org/Ayesh/wordpress-develop/builds/317469175).

I have not changed anything in third party libraries (such as random_compat).

Thank you.
