remove EDG related workaround related to bit_cast

[Charlie Barto (barcharcraz)]

We were working around VSO-1041044 (essentially edg not supporting our __builtin_bit_cast) now it does and it appears that's landed in 16.6 preview 2 so we can remove the workaround!

I'd like to see the CI pass in both github and VSO before merging into either, due to really needing EDG coverage.

Looks perfect.

I want to be extra sure :D

VSO-1020212 is the "MSVC doesn't support these intrinsics" bug; VSO-1041044 - the bug for which you're actually removing workarounds in the PR - is about EDG support. Please use the correct number in the commit message ;)

Thanks for removing this workaround!
