convert_type: Convert between any 2 supported types
In coolbutuseless/minitypes: Vector Type Conversions

This converts types directly if available. Otherwise it converts from one type to another by first converting to the built-in 'raw' type and then converting from 'raw' to the destination type

`src_vec`	source values
`src_type`	source type
`dst_type`	destination type
`endian`	'little' or 'big'. default: 'little'
`first_bit`	'msb' or 'lsb'. default: 'msb'
`pad`	which side to add padding bits to make a full byte. 'right' or 'left'. default: 'right'
`verbose`	default: FALSE
