```
stage2: rework Value Payload layout

This is the same as the previous commit but for Value instead of Type.

Add `Value.castTag` and note that it is preferable to call than
`Value.cast`. This matches other abstractions in the codebase.

Added a convenience function `Value.Tag.create` which really cleans up
the callsites of creating `Value` objects.

`Value` tags can now share payload types. This is in preparation for
another improvement that I want to do.

```
