bevy_reflect: Add DynamicTyped trait (#15108)
# Objective

Thanks to #7207, we now have a way to validate at the type-level that a
reflected value is actually the type it says it is and not just a
dynamic representation of that type.

`dyn PartialReflect` values _might_ be a dynamic type, but `dyn Reflect`
values are guaranteed to _not_ be a dynamic type.

Therefore, we can start to add methods to `Reflect` that weren't really
possible before. For example, we should now be able to always get a
`&'static TypeInfo`, and not just an `Option<&'static TypeInfo>`.

## Solution

Add the `DynamicTyped` trait.

This trait is similar to `DynamicTypePath` in that it provides a way to
use the non-object-safe `Typed` trait in an object-safe way.

And since all types that derive `Reflect` will also derive `Typed`, we
can safely add `DynamicTyped` as a supertrait of `Reflect`. This allows
us to use it when just given a `dyn Reflect` trait object.

## Testing

You can test locally by running:

```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect
```

---

## Showcase

`Reflect` now has a supertrait of `DynamicTyped`, allowing `TypeInfo` to
be retrieved from a `dyn Reflect` trait object without having to unwrap
anything!

```rust
let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = Box::new(String::from("Hello!"));

// BEFORE
let info: &'static TypeInfo = value.get_represented_type_info().unwrap();

// AFTER
let info: &'static TypeInfo = value.reflect_type_info();
```

## Migration Guide

`Reflect` now has a supertrait of `DynamicTyped`. If you were manually
implementing `Reflect` and did not implement `Typed`, you will now need
to do so.
