…t__` overrides when they are not needed.

… *>()` introduced with PR pybind#2152

The `reinterpret_cast<instance *>(self)` is unsafe if `__new__` is mocked,
which was actually found in the wild: the mock returned `None` for `self`.
This was inconsequential because `inst` is currently cast straight back to
`PyObject *` to compute `all_type_info()`, which is empty if `self` is not
a pybind11 `instance`, and then `inst` is never dereferenced. However, the
unsafe detour through `instance *` is easily avoided and the updated
implementation is less prone to accidents while debugging or refactoring.

It turns out the previous commit message is incorrect, the `inst` pointer is actually dereferenced, in the `value_and_holder` ctor here:

https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/blob/f3e0602802c7840992c97f4960515777cad6a5c7/include/pybind11/detail/type_caster_base.h#L262-L263

```
259     // Main constructor for a found value/holder:
260     value_and_holder(instance *i, const detail::type_info *type, size_t vpos, size_t index)
261         : inst{i}, index{index}, type{type},
262           vh{inst->simple_layout ? inst->simple_value_holder
263                                  : &inst->nonsimple.values_and_holders[vpos]} {}
```
