all: drop unnecessary cast for return value of g_object_new()

C casts unconditionally force the type, and as such they don't
necessarily improve type safety, but rather overcome restrictions
from the compiler when necessary.

Casting a void pointer is unnecessary (in C), it does not make the
code more readable nor more safe. In particular for g_object_new(),
which is known to return a void pointer of the right type.

Drop such casts.
