compiler: optimize GAS cost of type conversion

CONVERT call base price is 8192. DUP, ISTYPE and JMPIF all cost 2. So we add
0.07% overhead in the worst case and save 99.93% otherwise.

At the same time, old code was just two bytes and new one is seven, but I
think it's tolerable considering how much GAS it can potentially save.

Fix #2250.
