c++: remove useless cast about user_token_number_max_

Reported by Frank Heckenbach.

The cast is needed when yytranslate_'s argument type is token_type,
i.e., when api.token.constructor is defined.

    373. types.at:138: testing lalr1.cc api.value.type=variant api.token.constructor ...

It is because it is expected that when api.token.constructor is
defined, only symbol constructors will be used, that yytranslate_ then
takes a token_type.  But it is wrong: we still allow literal
characters in this case, as demonstrated by test 373 for instance.

    %define api.value.type variant
    %define api.token.constructor
    %token <std::pair<int, int>> '1' '2';
    [...]
    static yy::parser::symbol_type yylex ()
    {
      static char const input[] = "12";
      int res = input[toknum++];
      typedef yy::parser::symbol_type symbol;
      if (res)
        return symbol (res, std::make_pair (res - '0', res - '0' + 1));
      else
        return symbol (res);
    }

So let yytranslate_ always take an int, which makes the cast truly
useless.
