Describe the bug
The BindSingleResourceCastFunctionCall() method links a "SingleResourceFunctionCallNode" to produce a LINQ "Expression" that signifies the meaning of the "SingleResourceFunctionCallNode".

This method takes two arguments: SingleResourceFunctionCallNode and QueryBinderContext.
SingleResourceFunctionCallNode has a Parameters property, which is a list of QueryNodes.

The last QueryNode in this SingleResourceFunctionCallNode.Parameters parameter could be either of type ConstantNode or SingleResourceCastNode.
For instance:

• /People?$orderby=cast(Location,NS.WorkAddress)/Company: The last query node in the SingleResourceFunctionCallNode.Parameters is of type SingleResourceCastNode. This occurs because NS.WorkAddress is bound as a DottedIdentifier and thus transformed into a SingleResourceCastNode.
• /People?$orderby=cast(Location,'NS.WorkAddress')/Company: The last query node in the SingleResourceFunctionCallNode.Parameters is of type ConstantNode, as 'NS.WorkAddress' is bound as a Literal and consequently converted to ConstantNode.
• /People?$filter=cast(Location,'NS.HomeAddress')/IsPrimaryResidence eq true: The last parameter is SingleResourceCastNode.
• /People?$filter=cast(Location,NS.HomeAddress)/IsPrimaryResidence eq true: The last parameter is ConstantNode.
  etc.

Currently, the implementation only allows for casting to ConstantNode: Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData/Query/Expressions/QueryBinder.cs#L620

We should be able to cast the parameter as either SingleResourceCastNode or ConstantNode in order to enable the solution for this other issue OData/odata.net#1744

Reproduce steps
This issue was identified while fixing another issue OData/odata.net#1744

cast with unquoted type parameter throw an error:
/Airports?$filter=cast(Location,Microsoft.OData.SampleService.Models.TripPin.AirportLocation)/City/Name eq 'Beijing'

cast with quoted type parameter works just fine:
/Airports?$filter=cast(Location,Microsoft.OData.SampleService.Models.TripPin.AirportLocation)/City/Name eq 'Beijing'

The above issue is describe here

EDM (CSDL) Model
https://services.odata.org/V4/(S(4dwtx43m0k0tpfool4gce2di))/TripPinServiceRW/$metadata

Expected behavior
cast with quoted and unquoted type param should return the same data. For example
cast(Location,Microsoft.OData.SampleService.Models.TripPin.AirportLocation)/City/Name eq 'Beijing' should be the same as cast(Location,Microsoft.OData.SampleService.Models.TripPin.AirportLocation)/City/Name eq 'Beijing'

Screenshots
Getting the below after fixing the issue #1744 to SingleResourceCastNode in case of unquoted type parameter:

Additional context
Add a condition to try cast QueryNode to SingleResourceCastNode or ConstantNode

public virtual Expression BindSingleResourceCastFunctionCall(SingleResourceFunctionCallNode node, QueryBinderContext context)
{
    ...

    string targetEdmTypeName = null;
    QueryNode queryNode = node.Parameters.Last();
    if (queryNode is SingleResourceCastNode singleResourceCastNode)
    {
        targetEdmTypeName = singleResourceCastNode.TypeReference.FullName();
    }
    else if (queryNode is ConstantNode constantNode)
    {
        targetEdmTypeName = constantNode.Value as string;
    }

    IEdmType targetEdmType = model.FindType(targetEdmTypeName);
    ...
}
